Segmentation fault when using PAW

[fatihgsen]

Hi, I have compiled the serial version of VASP (4.6.31) in an opteron cluster with PGI 7.1. After compilation all of the benchmarks and Cu test works well. there is only discrepancy in OSZICAR after the fifth decimal point. However, when I use PAW potentials VASP stops with "Segmentation Fault" just at the beginning of electron minimization. What could be the problem. I have tried several BLAS libraries including ACML, MKL GotoBLAS but nothing has changed. Could you please help me?

The output is

vasp.4.6.31 08Feb07 complex
POSCAR found : 1 types and 4 ions
LDA part: xc-table for Ceperly-Alder, standard interpolation

# Makefile for the PGI f90 (pgf90) compiler for Athlon Opteron systems
#
# The makefile was tested only under Linux on Intel platforms

# it might be required to change some of library pathes, since

# Hence check ***ALL**** options in this makefile very carefully

#
# BLAS must be installed on the machine
# there are several options:
# 1) very slow but works:
# retrieve the lapackage from ftp.netlib.org
# and compile the blas routines (BLAS/SRC directory)
# please use g77 or f77 for the compilation. When I tried to
# use pgf77 or pgf90 for BLAS, VASP hang up when calling
# ZHEEV (however this was with lapack 1.1 now I use lapack 2.0)
# 2) most desirable: get an optimized BLAS
#
# the two most reliable packages around are presently:
# 3a) Intels own optimised BLAS (PIII, P4, Itanium)
# http://developer.intel.com/software/products/mkl/
# this is really excellent when you use Intel CPU's
#
# 3b) or obtain the atlas based BLAS routines
# http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/
# you certainly need atlas on the Athlon, since the mkl
# routines are not optimal on the Athlon.
# If you want to use atlas based BLAS, check the lines around LIB=

# MPI section, uncomment the following lines

# one comment for users of mpich or lam:
# You must *not* compile mpi with g77/f77, because f77/g77
# appends *two* underscores to symbols that contain already an
# underscore (i.e. MPI_SEND becomes mpi_send__). The pgf90/ifc
# compilers however append only one underscore.
# Precompiled mpi version will also not work !!!
#
# We found that mpich.1.2.1 and lam-6.5.X to lam-7.0.4 are stable
# mpich.1.2.1 was configured with

# please note that you might be able to use a lam or mpich version

Hi all I compiled the older version 4.6.28 and it is not working too. But this gives an extra error

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x0000000000c3b320 ***

What could be the problem? Please help.
