[QE-users] Calculations with van der Waals correction stopped with an error

Hi, All


My NEB calculations with the the parameters below go smoothly

                    vdw_corr = 'grimme-d2' ,

but when I tried to perform NEB calculations with the following parameters

                    vdw_corr = 'grimme-d3' ,
but the program stopped and gave the error below. The input file is listed. How should I resolve this problem?
