DL> Dear Sir:

DL> I created a pseudopotential for Ta with fhi98PP and found that the obtained file is in the MT_GIA_BLYP format. Accoring to the message in http://www.cpmd.org/pipermail/cpmd-list/2002-November/000537.html, I set "xc= 1312    .666667" in the Ta pseudopotential file.

DL> However, when I want to run a program with the Ta potential, It stops with output as follows. I have tried to change the value for "xc" in pseudopotential file, but results a waring message with "inconsistant of the XC energy" and failed in the same reason. I have once suspected the improper coordinates of Ta atoms and tried with only one Ta atom, but it still fails with the same reason. The input file are showed at the end of this message.

hi,

i don't know how you have created the pseudopotential. but
there is a high chance, that you want to use the kleinman-bylander
formalism to treat the non-local parts of the pseudopotentials.
unfortunately, cpmd v3.7 defaults to gauss-hermite with 0 (!)
integration points, which might explain your error message.

please check the pseudopotential section of the cpmd manual 
and the manual of your pseudopotential generation program for 
more details.
