Dear users, 


I tried to generate the PAW pseudopotential for Mn. Here i am attaching both input and output file. I am successfully generated Mn psuedopotential, but when i used this 
psuedo to calculate the energy of bulk Mn in FCC structure, I found 
following error in the output file.

Error in routine cdiaghg (16): 
S matrix not positive definite

I don't understand why did it come. Kindly give any suggestion or comments.
