Jenny,

such a failure of the Cholesky routine is mostly due to linear 
dependencies in the overlap matrix, which are usually caused by small 
exponents in the basis set. The Ca basis set might contain such small 
(<=0.06) exponents. Try the keyword "CHOLESKY OFF" in the &SCF section to 
check for such dependencies. Possibly, you have to use another basis set 
for your system, if CHOLESKY OFF does not help.
