[Pw_forum] problems computing cholesky decomposition

[ambavale sagar]

Dear all,
 I am running 'VC-relax calculation of simple si-c infinite wire using espresso-4.0 on Xeon quad core dual CPU (X86_64) workstation with intel mkl -10, lam-mpi -7.1.4. 
I am getting: 
 (1)   ' from  pzpotrf  : error #         1
             problems computing cholesky decomposition'
 while using cell-dynamics = 'bfgs'.

(2) from rdiaghg : error  # 27
     info =/= 0
when ran the same input with -ndiag 1

(3) run successfully with cell-dynamics = 'damp-pr' and -ndiag 1 in command line.

(4) run successfully with cell-dynamics = 'damp-pr' and  without -ndiag 1 in command line.

My input file is :
&CONTROL
   calculation = 'vc-relax'
  
 restart_mode= 'from_scratch'
   prefix = 'c-si-inf-vcrlx'
   pseudo_dir  = '/home/phy/espresso-4.0/pseudo/'
