[Wien] running wien2k using aprun command at Cray XC40

Dear wien2k users,

I would like to know how to run the wien2k_21.1 on the Cray XC40 system. I
have installed wien2k successfully using the modules available at cray as
given below.
=========
module swap PrgEnv-cray PrgEnv-intel/6.0.9
module unload cray-libsci
module load intel/19.0.5.281
module load cray-mpich/7.7.10
==========

In order to the non spin polarized calculations, I have used "*aprun -j 1
-n 96 run_lapw -p -NI -i 400 -ec 0.00001 -cc 0.0001*". This leads to error
as given below (may be unable to locate the path for "x lapw0" at service
nodes).

=================

Later, I have used "which x >> output.dat" after the wien2k execution
command and this gives to proper path
(/home/proj/21/isuch/soft/cray/wien2k_2/x) in the output.dat file. So, I
don't know the reason why the service nodes don't find the "x" path while
running the wien2k executable at service nodes.


On the other side, I have also run the calculations using "*run_lapw -p -NI
-i 400 -ec 0.00001 -cc 0.0001*" option, But here, although it seems to
detect the correct path for "x lapw0", later it has been stopped giving
raise to the error as given below.

=======
aprun: Bad value (achinefile) for option -m
aprun: Exiting due to errors. Application aborted
[1]    Exit 1                        aprun -n 96 -machinefile .machine0
/home/proj/21/isuch/soft/cray/wien2k_2/lapw0_mpi lapw0.def >> .time00
cat: No match.
grep: *scf1*: No such file or directory
grep: lapw2*.error: No such file or directory
===============

In this case, it seems that wien2k can detect the "x lapw0" path. But, I
don't know the reason why this stops. Therefore, kindly help me out to find
out how to give a correct executable command on the Cray  XC40 system to
run the parallel calculations without error.


thanks in advance
