[Pw_forum] optB86b-vdW pseudopotential

[Aldo Ugolotti]

You also have to run, just for the first time, the command:
generate_vdW_kernel_table.x
that will create the database of input functionals and i guess that you
have to copy the database in your local pseudopotential files directory

Good luck,
