A helpful tool(weapon :D) for tracking down errors is to use (learnt from
Prof. Gianozzi's replies on the forum)
$ grep -e '' */*.f90

In this case,,
$ grep -e 'are too small' */*.f90

Results gives  the relevant code file where it occurs.

$PW/allocate_fft.f90: CALL errore ('allocate_fft', 'the nr"s are too
small!', 1)
$PW/allocate_fft.f90: CALL errore ('allocate_fft', 'the nrs"s are too
small!', 1)

A look at the file PW/allocate_fft.f90 suggests that
-
  IF (nrxx.lt.ngm) THEN
 WRITE( stdout, '(/,4x," nr1=",i4," nr2= ", i4, " nr3=",i4, &
  &" nrxx = ",i8," ngm=",i8)') nr1, nr2, nr3, nrxx, ngm
 CALL errore ('allocate_fft', 'the nr"s are too small!', 1)
-

Here
nrxx = nr1*nr2*nr3 (Modules/griddim.f90), the minimal 3D real-space FFT
grid required to fit the G-vector sphere with G^2 <= gcut
ngm = local  number of G vectors (Modules/recvec.f90).

I have not generated PPs, but I can only infer that your FFT grid density is
not sufficient enough to accommodate the G-vectors.

Dear Adetunji,

   which version of the code are you using ?
Can you first try to run the examples to see that this is not
related in some way to your input files or other.
Maybe you can send us the input/output files to better
understand what are you doing.

All the best, M.

[Pw_forum] xspectra calculation error

2011-09-04 Thread bamidele ibrahim
Dear all,

?? I am trying to run xspectra calculation on MgSe. Knowing that there is no 
gipaw pseudopotential for both contributing element on
? the pwscf-pseudo page, i tried to generate one for both Mg and Se. After 
running scf with this pseudo, i proceed to running the
? xspectra with xspectra.x but to my surprise, it keeps given this error ;

? ?? from allocate_fft : error # 1
 the nr"s are too small!
Please, can anybody help me out with this?

?
