[Wien] Error during NMR calculations

The output below looks like it is from a *.error and case.dayfile.  
While that is partially informative, it seems insufficient.  So I doubt 
anybody can help you with the given information.  I suggest you look 
further for additional error messages.

Usually such an error is accompanied with a forrtl (if WIEN2k was built 
with the Intel Fortran compiler with the -traceback setting) or mpi 
error message.  The MPI_COMM_WORLD error from mpirun and forrtl: severe 
(174): SIGSEGV looks like an example of something similar you might find 
for both at [ 
https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg01723.html 
].

If I recall correctly, those usually seemed to be in the standard error 
output of the terminal if entering the command directly in the terminal 
or standard output file if using a queue system. Though, on rare 
occurrences, I think some error message appeared in other files such as 
:parallel, .time*, .stdout*, .lapw1para. Refer to reference [11] at [ 
https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg17970.html 
].  There are cases that happen less often were there are no error 
messages.  Check the output files such as the case.output* and case.scf* 
files.  There are sometimes messages like WARNINGS or indicators of 
problematic data (NaN, ****).  Also, don't forget about the possibility 
of compiler issues (as I don't see a mention of what compiler you used) 
[ 
https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg17288.html 
].

Since lapw1cpara is a symbolic link to the lapw1para_lapw script file, 
you could also try turning on echo (-x) [or verbose (-v)] by changing 
the first line temporarily in lapw1para_lapw for example to [ 
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/816-0210/6m6nb7m71/index.html ]:

#!/bin/csh -xf

Using that to help debug/troubleshoot is something I got from mailing 
list archive:
