Hi,

I am trying to do the scf calculation on unit cell GaAs. But i am
continously observing an error "Error while parsing atomic positions" while
running it. I have checked the program several times but still not able to
troubleshoot. I am attaching my input and output file result along.

*input file*

&control
    calculation='scf'
    restart_mode='from_scratch'
    prefix='GaAs'
    wf_collect=.true.,
    pseudo_dir = '/root/pseudo',
    outdir='/root/poonamGaAs/temp',

 /
 &system
    ibrav=2, nat=10, ntyp= 2,celldm(1) = 10.20,
    ecutwfc = 25.0,ecutrho=300, occupations ='fixed',

 /
 &electrons
    mixing_beta = 0.1
    mixing_mode = 'plain'
    conv_thr =  1.0e-5
    diagonalization = 'david'

     Current dimensions of program PWSCF are:
     Max number of different atomic species (ntypx) = 10
     Max number of k-points (npk) =  40000
     Max angular momentum in pseudopotentials (lmaxx) =  3

I have tried running this file with all the versions of quantum espresso
but error is same..
I will be highly thankful if somebody can give some suggestion.
