[QE-users] ld1.x problem for testing pseudo potential

Dear QE Experts,

I want to test a pseudopotential I made, especially, whether a ghost state appears.
Before checking the pseudopotential, now I am trying to perform the same test for a widely-used pseudopotential.

However, when I ran the ld1.x code, I got the error message.
Could you be kind to let us know how to solve it?

The input and output are shown below. I used the Quantum Espresso ver 7.3.
The pseudopotential I am using was downloaded from the PSLibrary ver 1.0.0 by Dal Corso.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Tomoya
