[Wien] NiO calculation

[Abhilash Patra]

 Dear WIEN2K users,
 I want to calculate bandgaps for TM oxides using MBJ functional(PRL 102,
226401 (2009)). For this, I am trying to calculate LDA+U for Nio following
the
instructions from Constraint_U.pdf by Madsen and Novak and
http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg09014.html

Steps,
 (1) Using W2web I generated F-centered NiO struct file with a=7.927 and
set RMT values as 2.3 and 1.65 for NI and O respectively.
(2) I run  Supercell with 2x2x2 F-centered options. This gives,
NiO

0 no. of symmetry operations
(3) I copied this file from NiO_ldapu_super.structand and pasted in
original struct file with changing the first Ni to Ni1. Then I ran the
command for
sgroup and copied from  NiO_ldapu.struct_sgroup to my NiO_ldapu.struct. and
this contains

NiO

After these steps, I initiated the calculation with all default values
present in the w2web but got the error as,

*next is setrmt **next is nn *
At line 202 of file nn.f (unit = 20, file = 'NiO_ldapu.struct')

Another question When I am using case.indm file for calculating
case.dmatup for CoO(struct file from example), I am getting error and
nothing is creted in the case.dmatup or -dn files

So I would like to request the experts to suggest me the steps so that I
can fix this problem. Any reply will be greately appreciated,
