Dear Slomski,
I am have the same problem you had with wien2k while generating a slab. I
tried to check for responses but i didn't see any. below is the question am
referring too:
****************************************************************************************************************

Dear developers and users of Wien2k,

during the workshop I have learned how to create a slab using the
supercell tool and structeditor tool written in octave. With supercell
everything works fine, but I need structeditor because the atoms "grow"
in [111] direction. The steps were quite clear and it worked. On my
system, however it fails, and so far I need help. These are the
steps,which I used to creat a slab.

1) creating a unit cell as usually will give me name.struct (in my case
Pb.struct)

2) then i went to the directory where name.struct is and started octave

3) s = loadstruct(Pb.struct)

After this I get the error:

octave:2> s=loadstruct(Pb2.struct)
error: `Pb2' undefined near line 2 column 14
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 2, column 2oble

I also tried s=loadstruct("Pb2.struct")

But this gave me the error message
<http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/pipermail/wien/2010-August/013550.html#>:

octave:3> s = loadstruct("Pb2.struct")
error: `strcmp' undefined near line 18 column 11
error: if: error evaluating conditional expression
error: evaluating if command near line 18, column 7
error: called from `loadstruct' in file
`/home5/slomski/build/SRC_structeditor/bin/loadstruct.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 3, column 3

I also scanned the mailing list, but did not found any solution to this
problem.

I am thankful for any hint on this.

How did you solve this problem. Please help me. Thank You.
Warm Regards.
