Conversion of output from pwscf into input for yambo.

[MALKI]

Hello,
I hope you are doing well
I have followed the step by step guide of how to convert pwscf into yambo (First steps: a walk through from DFT to optical properties
in this link (http://www.yambo-code.org/wiki/index.ph ... properties
).
But getting this error while running the ./p2y command in the hBN.save
directory
/Bureau/hBN/PWSCF/hBN.save$ ./p2y

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 2.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

Dear Malki,

which version of QE are you using ? Which version of yambo ?
Do you have a reproducer of the problem you can share ? (ideally scf and nscf input files, pseudopods, etc)

As a side comment: the error message mention a format problem, which typically is a more serious issue wrt "unable to find a tag" or alike.
Let's try to reproduce it, though, as a first step.

take care
Andrea

Thank you for your answer
I used the QE.7.0, and yambo.5.0.3, for the pseudo-potentials, the scf and nscf......i used the files in the Tutorials (https://www.yambo-code.eu/wiki/index.php/Tutorials) examle of hBN.
Thank you
