About spin-orbintal !!!

Hi everybody!
I am calculating the band structure to see how the spin-orbital coupling affect
the energies of the bands. First I did a self consistent calculation by setting the INCAR file as following:
PREC = accurate medium, high low
ISTART = 0 job : 0-new 1-cont 2-samecut ICHARG = 11 charge: 1-file 2-atom 10-const ISPIN = 2 spin polarized calculation?
ISMEAR = 0; SIGMA = 0.2
NELM = 90; NELMIN= 4; NELMDL= -5 # of ELM steps
EDIFF = 0.1E-03 stopping-criterion for ELM
EDIFFG = 0.1E-02 stopping-criterion for IOM
SIGMA = 0.20 broadening in eV -4-tet -1-fermi 0-gaus
LREAL = .REAL.
Then I did a non-self consistent calculation by setting ( LSORBIT=.TRUE. , ISTART=1 and ICHARG=11 , SAXIS= 0 0 1, LORBMOM = .TRUE.,LORBIT = 11,MAGMOM = 6*0 6*0 6*1) and for the other INCAR parameters I used the default values.
But I got the following error information:
#####################################################
ERROR: non collinear calculations require that VASP is compiled
without the flag -DNGXhalf and -DNGZhalf
#####################################################
Anybody could help me?

please re-compile VASP without these precompiler-options (-DNGZhalf, or -DNGXhalf)
