you cannot: what you sent is not the file containing interatomic force
constants in real space, C(R). It looks like the file containing the dynamical
matrices, i.e. C(q) (apart from the mass factors), but it actually contains
only the dielectric tensor and the effective charges (so it should be q=0).
Are you really sure you correctly followed example 06?
