hi 2 all,
I am calculating the Projected DOS first time using the Abinit. I
searched the forum and tried it.
the error i am getting is,
 chkint: ERROR -
 Context : the value of the variable prtdos is   3.
 The value of the input variable nkpt is    1, while it must be
 larger or equal to   2.
 Action : you should change the input variables nkpt or prtdos.

leave_new : decision taken to exit ...


Please help, how to solve this problem ??

Secondly, please have a look on my input file(pasted below, with low
values for trail) , any extra parameter to give or anything to
remove??

thanks in advance
