Noncolinear compilation of vasp

Dear vasp master:
I am running vasp 4.6.35, all colinear calculation are ok. But I wanna do noncollinear calculation, when I submit the job, some errors happens:
========================
running on 12 nodes
distr: one band on 12 nodes, 1 groups
vasp.4.6.35 3Apr08 complex
POSCAR found : 2 types and 128 ions
ERROR: non collinear calculations require that VASP is compiled
without the flag -DNGXhalf and -DNGZhalf
ERROR: non collinear calculations require that VASP is compiled
without the flag -DNGXhalf and -DNGZhalf

=================
I think these two flags DNGXhalf and DNGZhalf are very important for vasp, please tell me how can I successfully compile the noncolinear vasp ?
Thanks a lot:)

You should do as it says and compile VASP without DNGXhalf and DNGZhalf. Then you will get a successfully compiled binary able to run noncollinear calculations.

Cheers,
