You first need to switch on the P3M method using "inter coulomb 3 p3m tunev2 
accuracy 1e-3" or so, and then elc, without Bjerrum length, i.e. inter 
coulomb elc 1e-4 10.

Note, however, that it is not sufficient to switch on ELECTROSTATICS; you also 
need to have the fftw-library installed in the devel-version, i.e. with 
header files. To check that, you can use the "code_info"-command of Espresso; 
it should either say "FFTW2" or "FFTW3". If not, look into 
obj-<xxx>/config.log to figure out why Espresso's configure didn't find your 
FFTW.
