ERROR FEXCP: supplied Exchange-correletion table is too small

[borchert]

On an SGI Origin 3000 IRIX, we have a user with an issue running VASP 4.6.28 on a very small input. His output is below, but the error is “ERROR FEXCP: supplied Exchange-correletion table is too small, maximal index : 2147483647�. The user tells me that the code crashes when IWAVPR = 2 is used. Would it help if I supplied the user's input files?

Thank you,
Chris

irt seems that the first ionic relaxation steps lead to an unreasonable geometry and hence electron density. Please check your XDATCAR file and decrease POTIM in INCAR if this is the case. It may also help to switch to a different ionic relaxation algorithm (IBRION)
