Thank you for the response
I tried RMT value for Zn 2.1 and for O from 1.62 to 1.4.
Initialisation is done without error.

.scfm file
NEC01: NUCLEAR AND ELECTRONIC CHARGE     76.00000    70.29675
 :WAR   :   NEC01: average large charge leakage:   1.42581229073737      e/atom
 :ERROR :   NEC01: average charge leakage too large:   1.42581229073737  e/atom
 Check FERMI method (use TEMP(S) for 2D), check symmetry (rounding
errors in case.struct)

output file
:WARNING: Iteration            1 occurs more than once in this scf file!!!

Dont know how to rectify this.
ZnO.lcore file is empty
