I'm trying to study the Ni/Ni3Al system. For starting, I built a Nx =  <br>

However, I've got the following error message:<br>

<br>

<br>

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<br>

      task #         0<br>

      from cdiaghg : error #       201<br>

      diagonalization (ZHEGV*) failed<br>

<br>

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<br>

<br>

I did some variations on the input parameters (CG instead of DAVID,  <br>

DAMP instead of BFGS, ...) and the calculation continue to giving the  <br>

same error message. Are there some problem with my input file? Any  <br>

suggestion?<br>

<br>

I appreciate any help. Best regards,<br>

<br>
