Welcome to the club! This same problem has been posted at least 4 times before without any reply from the developers (to the best of my knowledge) in order to resolve this issue once and for all. Hope they address it.

Hi,

When I started using USPEX I also had a lot of troubles running this example. I will give some suggestions to check if everything is ok.
1st- See if the command "mpirun pw.x" directly in the terminal correctly runs the quantum espresso. If it is not running, look for the correct path of pw.x
2nd- Remove the "#" from the "numParallelCalcs" and "whichCluster" lines in the INPUT file.
3rd- Set the value of "numParallelCalcs" to 1.

4th- You can see the calculations progress in the output file in the Calcfold1 folder, if quantum espresso is running correctly.
5th- Use a script to run USPEX, so you can save the results in a log file. Here's an example script:

#!/bin/sh

while true; of
    date >> log
    USPEX -r >> log
    sleep 20
done

To run the script use the command "nohup ./"script name" &". If none of these procedures work, post the log and nohup file here. Hope this helps.
