Hello, all:

I'm trying to do a variable cell geometry optimization of a carbon nanotube with "pw.x". My input follows:

With this input, I'm getting the following error message:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     from setup : error #         1
     Wrong atomic coordinates 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

What's going on?

Regards,

Roberto
