When I submitted a job, vasp showed the following error message:

"LDA part: xc-table for Ceperly-Alder, Vosko type interpolation para-ferro
No initial positions read in"

Here's my POSCAR:

Could anyone help me where I went wrong?
Thanks for the help

POSCAR is OK. Check for special (invisible) characters which can be introduced by the text editor at the end of lines.

Does your POSCAR eventually start with an empty line? It's not clear from your posting ...
