Dear all,

  I tried to compile bulk CuO SCF calculation using following input file,
which i built.........

&CONTROL
                 calculation = 'scf' ,
                restart_mode = 'from_scratch' ,
                      outdir = '/home/espresso/espresso-4.3.2/tmpCuO/' ,
                  pseudo_dir = '/home/espresso/espresso-4.3.2/pseudo/' ,
                      prefix = 'CuO' ,
                     tstress = .true. ,
                     tprnfor = .true. ,

After running pw.x i got following error............

I dont understand why, evenwhen i visualize using VESTA or xcrysden, there
is no problem in getting right monoclinic structure. Kindly suggest where is
problem.



Thanks
