[Wien] lapw2dm error in LDA+U calculation with spin-orbit coupling.

Dear Peter,

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I followed your suggestion and initialized spin-orbit calculation by
committing to the new structure file generated in the initso_lapw
step. (I attached case.struct, case.in1, and case.inso below)
Then I executed

        runsp_lapw -so -cc 0.0001 -ec 0.0001 -p -i 1

But this time lapw1 threw an error at the very first step:

        LAPW0 END
        SELECT - Error
        ...

The 'uplapw1.error' file has the following information:
        **  Error in Parallel LAPW1
        **  LAPW1 STOPPED at Tue Jun 16 15:37:23 EDT 2015
        **  check ERROR FILES!
         'SELECT' - no energy limits found for atom   1  L= 0
         'SELECT' - E-bottom   -4.70963   E-top -200.00000
        ...

It happened at the first iteration, so the -in1new option seems to
have no effect on this error. I also tried several RMT values as
suggested in
http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/pipermail/wien/2012-February/016428.html.
I tried 0%, 4% and 10%, all these trials resulted in the same 'SELECT Error'...
It is strange to me that without committing to the new structure file
by initso_lapw, runsp_lapw could run without error. Could you give me
any
hints on what could possibly go wrong? Thanks!


Best regards,
Wenhu
