[QE-users] Failure in installing QE 6.7 in a server

[Jeffrey Tanudji]

Dear Pietro,


Thank you very much for your help. I have done what you suggested and it 
seems there is some problem with the MPI during the installation. I will 
look into it. Once again thank you very much.


Best regards,


Jeffrey
