HCTH407 GTH pseudopotential set?

Hi Hanning,

the final segmentation fault may have various reasons and I cannot
tell you exactly the reason.
However, here are some suggestions concerning the fitting procedure:

- The atomic all-electron reference calculation is usually performed
for the relativistic atom. Such a run will produce more information
which is later used as a reference during the fitting of the new
pseudopotential.

- use the final psp.par and weights.par files of an already optimised
pseudopotential, e.g. C HCTH120 as a starting point. These parameters
are most likely a very good guess.

- don't try to optimise all parameters, just check the FITPAR file for
C from another functional, e.g. again HCTH120

Best regards,

Matthias
