Hello all,

      The Quantum-Espresso - 4.0.2 is installed with pathscale-3.0
compiler, ACML-4.1.0 and fftw-3.1.2 libraries on a 16 node Rocks-4.2
cluster (Cent OS 4.3).

     When pw.x is run, the following error appearied immediately after
the job submission.

$   mpiexec -machinefile ./host -np 8 /opt/apps/espresso-4.0.2_acml/bin/pw.x

 I've tried to run this job with different number of processes. In
each run same error has appeared.

  But the same input file works well with QE-3.1.1.

Will it be possible to know why its not working with QE-4.0.2?
