[Wien] dstart error when run 'init_lapw' from terminal

[Gavin Abo]

Good to hear that your problem seems to be solved.

If you use serial mode "x dstart -p" again and encounter a problem, 
below is possibly an error message improvement for dstartpara_lapw that 
one could try.  It's the dstartpara_lapw.patch at: 
https://github.com/gsabo/WIEN2k-Patches/tree/master/17.1

*Before Patch*

username at computername:~/wiendata/test$ rm test.rsp
username at computername:~/wiendata/test$ init_lapw -s dstart
  next is dstart
  next is dstart
 >   dstart -c -p    (07:05:28) running dstart in single mode
DSTART - Error
**  dstart crashed!
cat: No match.
