Hi, Giovanni
I used command: mpirun -np 2 pw.x <top.nscf.inp> top.nscf.out&      
and command simply pw.x <top.nscf.inp> top.nscf.out& 


They gave me the same error

May I see the command and/or the submission script you use to launch pw.x? Also, please provide the full pw.x output header (printed before the error message), if any.Giovanni

The error below remains even if I used only one cpu. Any idea?

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine  fft_type_set (6):
  there are processes with no planes. Use pencil decomposition (-pd .true.)
