unspecified error at the gradient step

[jasius]

sorry for so many messages, I just compiled so it's a learning curve for me. I compiled 4.6 with VTST tools and during the geometry optimization I am getting an unspecified error after the first SCF step. If I do it outside VTST with
IOPT = 0 ! use VTST optimizer
IBRION = 1
POTIM = 0.5
I am getting optimization completed successfully. Please advise

The force is below 0.02 eV/Ang, which is what you specified, so the optimizer stopped after the first iteration.

Graeme, no, there is something else happening, it aborts, not finishes, I decreased the convergence criteria to a very small value (0.005) it still aborts after this first SCF converged at FORCES: max atom, RMS 0.046597 0.016415

| This version of vasp.4.6 restores the correct one-centre multipoles |
| of the AE-charge density up to L=6. Previous versions truncated the |
| augmentation at L=4. This version is compatible with vasp.5.2 and |
| technically more accurate. |
| If you want to recover the old vasp.4.6 behaviour please change us.F |
| around line 2801 and 1508 (LYMAX=MIN(4,LYMAX*2) instead LYMAX=LYMAX*2) |
| Changes between this and previous vasp version are expected to be |
| small, except for f elements. |
