Dear Salah,

please, follow the instructions:

0) If you would read the error message you would find that a useful  
keyword (maybe to understand and look into it) is
     EMAX_SPLINE... though you already put it as content of the  
subject..
1) open your favorite browser and point he URL to http:// 
cp2k.berlios.de/input/
2) can you see a search widget? type into the box: EMAX_SPLINE  
without changing any search setting..

2.a) You should be extremely lucky and find just 1 result , which is:
http://cp2k.berlios.de/input/ 
InputReference~__ROOT__~FORCE_EVAL~MM~FORCEFIELD~SPLINE.html

At this level you know the section and the keywords.
You can read the few information about this keyword and you may want  
to add the proper section into your input..

Just to make your task easier..
&MM
   &FORCEFIELD
      &SPLINE
         EMAX_SPLINE [hartree] 1.0
[..]

of course 1.0 may not be enough.. but at this level you can point it  
out for yourself!
