Hi,
I've got some problems doing response fonction calculation concerning phonon
frequencies. I do these calculations on the (EDO-TTF)2PF6 compound in the
metallic phase where there are 47 atoms in the cell.
As in the Tutorials, i have three datasets in my .in file and the problem
occur in the third one. Without the memory options (mkmem, mk1mem and
mkqmem), i tried to calculate phonons frequencies at q vector (b*-a*)/2. the
calculation converged but there was a problem of memory when writing the
wavefunction output files so i decided to use the memory options and to put
all of them at 0 and i obtained the following error message(at the end).
these calculations were made at the CINES (
http://www.cines.fr/anglais0.html ) using parallel calculation.
i add that this calculation works when the job is made on only one processor

i attached the .in files (for a test, i used very low convergence criteria, i
know that i would have to increase them, here i just want to discuss of the
error message)

every suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Flavien Aubert
