[QE-users] plotband.x error

Dear Venkatesh,
Do you really need to use plotbands? The bands.x code produces an output
file (bands.dat.gnu) that can be plotted directly. You may want to use
plotbands to resolve the bands crossing, but it is not essential. You can
also copy the output files of bands.x (bands.dat and bands.rap.dat) to your
pie computer and run plotbands.x locally, as it only takes a few seconds to
execute.

Regards
