<p>You might want to check what value you used for -ecut as I
noticed a WARNING from <font color="#ff8000">lstart</font> of
WIEN2k 21.1 if the default value of -6.0 is used:</p>

<p>I see that your struct has P and O atoms. The ghostbands error
your encountering might be a common problem with struct files
having those atoms. You might want to search past posts to see if
they can help with that such as at the two links:</p>

<div>Dear Wien2k users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I want to run a volume optimization for
LiFePO4. However, at the first iteration it shows a Ghost Band
error. I have attached the struct file (both initial & -2%
decreased volume struct) herewith this mail.</div>

</div>
<div>Thanks in advance.</div>
