dear all:
   I'm calculate the cohesive energy of hydrogen with metals.In the 
calculation I come across tow problem.The first One is a warning accuring 
which is same as the happened in the first lesson  of tutorial:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
pspatm: WARNING -
 Pseudopotential file pspxc=       7,
 not equal to input ixc=       1.
 These parameters must agree to get the same xc
 in ABINIT code as in psp construction.
 Action : check psp design or input file.
 Assume experienced user. Execution will continue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to know whether it influences the result or not.
The second is I calculate the cohesive energy of hydrogen with metals 
through calcuating a series of total enery with diffrent acell and fit them 
.But I find the result is very lager than experimental data. For example 
the cohesive hydrygen with aluminum,the following is the input file,the 
calculating result is about 5ev,but the experiment result is only 3.25ev.
I hope someone could kindly help me.
Thanks!
