Hi, Laurence,<br><br>I checked the last updated date of that clmaddsub program , it is 17-Aug-2007, so I&#39;m sure the version of&nbsp; Wien2k is wien2k_07.3. Anyway, I still updated that program, but as a result, those errors remained. Maybe the info I provided is not that clear, let me make a quick summary of what I have done:
<br><br>1. I wanted to calculate Bismuth R-3m, CIF file downloaded from ICSD. <br>2. I went through init_lapw during which the struct file has been modified by &quot;sgroup&quot; to be Rhomb settings. And RMT=2.8, RKmax=7.0
, 3000 K points,&nbsp; no spin-polarization.<br>3. I went through SCF calculations and the generated&nbsp; bandstructure seemed to be correct.<br>4. I proceeded to internal parameters optimization with default PORT settings, but after a cycle (a cycle of mini), it stopped with error pointing to clmaddsub and also some severe end of file during reading errors.
<br>5. I tried NEW1, NEWT, they didn&#39;t work, the errors generated were exactly the same<br>6. I cannot find way out.<br><br>the struct file from CIF file before &quot;sgroup&quot;<br><br>blebleble&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
