[CP2K:2209] Error when running geo_opt

Hi Eric,

this error had nothing to do with GEO_OPT.

The geometry of your system looks a bit weird.. are you sure it is ok 
(see the nice arrow in the pic ;-) )?!

Anyway, the error you get is the effect of some linear dependence at the 
basis set level (or geometry totally wrong).
If the geometry is correct, try to use the MOLOPT basis set. It should 
behave better for these kind of problems (possibly even with
the arrow one ;-) )
