Sorry could not do that due to some file size problem. Which I hope I have
fixed now. So including complete struct file.


Dear WIEN2k users!
I am trying to initialize my system to calculate electronic structure of
CO, atomic O on Pd(111) surface. The problem 
I am facing is with dstart. Program finishes dstart but also create
dstart.error file which says ERROR in dstart. 
Then looking at my case.outputd files shows me that it did not finishes
successfully as there in no information about 
C and two O atoms at the end of file which should be there. And of course
due to that no case.clmsum file is generated. 
I am not sure what might be causing this problem. As before that I do not
get even a warning in any other stage of 
initialization. But still I have a strong suspicion that there is some
thing wrong with C and two O atoms but not 
sure what may be somebody can help me. I will highly appreciate his/her
help.

There are few things which I tried

There was a warning in case.outputst file for C and two O atoms
WARNING !!!! For good atomic total energies you should probably change the
radial mesh (reduce NRAD or increase R0), 
or increase PARAMETERS NPT and NPT00
 961  RADIAL MESH POINTS REACH UP TO 3.37677640068292995  A.U.
                    C 1                                 RHFS

WARNING !!!! For good atomic total energies you should probably change the

or increase PARAMETERS NPT and NPT00
961  RADIAL MESH POINTS REACH UP TO 4.276578940068292995  A.U.
                    O 2                                 RHFS

Even though, it has been suggested in email archives that this can be
ignored and I did that but still problem with dstart.

Then I got rid of these warnings by changing R0 from 0.0001 to 0.00005 for
C, 0.0001 to 0.00001 for O 1 (atom 32), 0.0001 
to 0.00001 and O 2 (atom 33). 

I had to set RMT for C and O small as NN between atom 31 and 32 is just
2.19. The difference between RMT of Pd and C and O 
looks rather large but from my earlier experience for the calculations of
C on Pd surface where I had almost same 
difference in RMT.s,  I had no problem with that. But to strike out this
possibility I have tried a smaller RMT for Pd i.e. 
1.3 1.5 and 2.0 but still same problem with dstart. 
If anyone encountered this problem and know what other things I should try
please let me know. Any help will be greatly 
appreciated.
