Errors while running Si epw calculation [using an unsupported version of epw]

[rannam1]

Hello,

I was trying to run the epw calculations for Si. In the epw.in file, when the file contained kmaps = .f., I would get a crash report saying bad input namelist &inputepw kmaps = .f. (error might be in the previous line). The previous line is outdir which I have set it to current directory.

But when I remove the kmaps flag, because it is by default false according to EPW code documentation, the calculation ran. But after a while it crashed again with the following message:
task # 0
from loadqmesh_serial : error # 1
Cannot load fine q points

I am attaching the input, output and the CRASH files for reference. I also noticed that when I ran pp.py code, I go the following message, before the prompt where I enter the prefix.

/home/giril/q-e-EPW-6.0/bin/pp.py:81: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '.'
fname_no_xml = re.sub('.xml$', '', fname)
/home/giril/q-e-EPW-6.0/bin/pp.py:99: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '.'
fname_no_xml = re.sub('.xml$', '', fname)
Enter the prefix used for PH calculations (e.g. diam)
si
epw_in.txt
epw_out.txt
CRASH.txt

But if your question is actually about EPW, then I invite you to ask it in their forum. We are not developers of EPW.
