<p>A more general comment. As described in the user guide, for every command there is a .def file, for instance lapw1.def or uplapw1.def. This file is created by the "x" command. If you read the relevant .def file you will see that it has the unit number as well as the file name. You can then track back to what is wrong, perhaps as Gavin says mixing spin and no spin.</p>
<p>You can do the same for all commands. It is a good learning experience to look, and also look and understand what the "x" command is doing.</p>

The error message "<span><span><span lang="en"><span>can not open</span>

I can only guess that maybe you mixed a non-spin polarized and spin polarized run.
