Dear QE users,<br><br>When I performed a NEB test (example17) by using the command &quot;neb.x -inp H2+H.in  &gt; H2+H.out&quot;, an error occurs:   <br><br>parsing_file_name: H2+H.in<br>PGFIO-F-209/OPEN/unit=99/&#39;OLD&#39; specified for file which does not exist.<br>
 File name = H2+H.in<br> In source file path_gen_inputs.F90, at line number 27<br><br>By the way, the example17 is always failed.  I have no idea about it because I am a new learner.<br><br>#######################################################<br>
