Dear All,
I just want to check DFT+U+V for a simple case (before going beyond), Si
with qe-7.1.
PWSCF runs well. However, the self-consistent U V calculation with hp.x
stops with the following message
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine hp_readin (1):
     The HP code can be used only when lda_plus_u=.true.
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     stopping ...
Since qe-7.1, the flag lda_plus_u=.true. is not needed. Input files are
below.
Can you tell me how to overcome this, please?
Many thanks,
