This is a optimized structure of Au 111 surface.

%%%INCAR
SYSTEM=Au111
IALGO=38
EDIFF=1E-04
ISMEAR=1
SIGMA=0.1
PREC=Accurate
NELMIN=4
LREAL= Auto
LVTOT=.True.
LDIPOL = .TRUE.
IDIPOL=3
LORBIT=12


%%%KPOINTS
K-Points
0
Monkhorst Pack
8 8 1
0 0 0

However, the following error was occurred
VERY BAD NEWS! internal error in subroutine PRICEL (probably precision problem, try to change SYMPREC in INCAR ?):
Sorry, number of cells and number of vectors did not agree. 1

I googled the previously post of the same issue
http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp-forum/ ... .php?3.845
However, I have added "SYMPREC=1E-16" a different error code have met
VERY BAD NEWS! internal error in subroutine SGRCON:
Found some non-integer element in rotation matrix 1

The previously post
http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp-forum/ ... .php?3.789
also suggest to increase the SYMPREC.

So how could I solve this error now?

BTW: If I get ride of the last Au atom, the calculation work well.
