[Wien] DSTART fails for 'mini' trying to treat complex case as real

I'd expect you have a problem with your csh or awk

Please verify the script     x_lapw:

search for cmplx    in this file.

you shold find some lines with   "awk", where
it is checked automatically if you have inversion
or not.

I'd expect that this does not work on your system.

In the first line of x_lapw put:

#!/bin/csh -fx       or

#!/bin/tcsh -fx

to get debugging output, or use the tcsh, which may work.
