Hello Prof. Blaha,

Thank you very much for pointing out the problem.  I edited the struct file and lstart worked just fine.

However when I come to dstart I get the following warning message

>   dstart -c(09:20:23) DSTART ENDS
110.739u 2.284s 1:54.88 98.3%0+0k 0+6io 131pf+0w
:WARN : GMAX .lt. GMIN; You should increase GMAX in case.in2
-----> check in  SrI2.outputd  if gmax > gmin, normalization
Do you want to edit SrI2.in2c, increase GMAX, and rerun dstart (y/n)

so I choose "y" and try to find the file SrI2.in2.  This file doesn't exist rather I have a file named SrI2.in2c and edit the file to change GMAX.  But I keep getting the same warning message.  When I look up SrI2.outputd file I find that it lists the following --

gmin =   60.86957
gmax =   12.00000

even though I changed GMAX to 65.0 in SrI2.in2c file.  I do not know the reason for this warning and what should I do next ?

The files SrI2.in2c is attached with this mail.  SrI2.outputd is too big to be sent as an email attachment.

best regards,
Anurag

I looked into your struct file.
You have atomic sphere radii of 0.25 ????

Bohr/ang conversion in the wrong direction ???
