Error EDDDAV: Call to ZHEGV failed. Returncode = 57 4 8

#1 Post by subsab » Thu Jul 10, 2008 9:05 am

Dear all!
I am new VASP user and I was running a relaxation calculation of SRO/STO supercell. I was getting this error "Error EDDDAV: Call to ZHEGV failed. Returncode = 57 4 8". I think that is most probably some problem with the POSCAR (input geometry) and specifically the lattice vectors. I do not know how to determine them exactly.
I got also a warning " The distance between some ions is very small please check the nearest neigbor list in the OUTCAR file".
The nearest neighbor table is wrong. Here my INCAR and POSCAR files:
