hi  amos,

you should try running each job seperately. i assume you are perhaps in the
begining stage of using QE.

please do one job at a time instead of running running it as a set of jobs
using some script.

anyway, am attaching a simple input file for you ............ try running it
with suitable modifications what ever you want ...........

Axel,

you are right ... i didn't run it as a shell script ........................

so may be i came up with such errors ......................................
