[QE-users] Error regarding LDA+U+SOC calculation

If you want to perform a single-point (i.e., calculation = 'scf')  
LDA+U+SOC calculation, then remove tprnfor = .true. from your input  
file. If you want to optimize the geometry of your system (i.e.,  
calculation = 'relax'), then you can first perform a relax calculation  
in a simplified scheme, e.g., LDA+U only, followed by a last LDA+U+SOC  
single-point calculation on the optimized structure.
