[Wien] Error in IRelast initialization for tetragonal structure | too many arguments

Never used IRelast myself.

Anyway, the fix is simple: In set_elast_lapw  change

set sym=`sgroup -wi $file.struct | grep "Bravais"|cut -c18-18`
to
set sym=`sgroup -wi $file.struct | grep "Bravais lattice:"|cut -c18-18`

Apparently it was not considered that sgroup might give also a message 
that the spacegroup has changed.

And this is the problematic point of your struct file. Within rounding 
errors this is actually a FCC cubic cell. Check this with sgroup using 
different tolerances:

  sgroup -wi test.struct -set-TOL=0.001
  sgroup -wi test.struct -set-TOL=0.0001
  sgroup -wi test.struct -set-TOL=0.00001
