Dear Pwscf forum members,

I am having a runtime error in pw.x related to fft on the cineca sp5.  I 
am using the recommended essl library to supply the fft routines.  If someone 
could please give me some idea of how to resolve this problem, I would 
appreciate it.  Thank you.  The details are below.

Best regards,

Details:

I downloaded the cvs version of espresso3.2.3.  pw.x works fine under 
linux.  I also configured and compiled without problems on the cineca sp5 
using:

./configure BLAS_LIBS="-lessl" LAPACK_LIBS="-lessl -L/cineca/lib -llapack"

The result of configure was:

The following libraries have been found:
   BLAS_LIBS=-lessl
   LAPACK_LIBS=-lessl -L/cineca/lib -llapack
   FFT_LIBS=-lessl
   MASS_LIBS= -lmassvp4 -lmass

(Note that I had used exactly the same settings to compile a trouble-free 
version of espresso3.0 some time ago.)

This was followed by "make all" and the compilation appeared to be 
trouble-free.  However, when I ran pw.x I there was an immediate crash 
with the error message:

      from  cft_1z  : error #         1
       no scalar fft driver specified
