b3lyp error

Message

Dear All,
I need to do b3lyp single point calculations on a fixed geometry.
I followed what I found here in the forum concerning hou to create the INCAR and consistently change the POTCAR but similarly I find an error message in my vasp.log that makes me understand I am neglecting something of fundamental.
Can you kindly help me to understand?
Thanks,
Giacomo

This is the INCAR

Hi,
it's probably just the space after the first dot in ". TRUE." in your INCAR for the LHFCALC tag.

Dear kelum.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, anyway, the problem remains...

Best,
