[CP2K:3360] failing job:err 300

[Irene H.]

Dear Madeleine,

Could you also post your input file here? From the error message in the
output alone, it's difficult to locate the problem. Usually an error in
cholesky decompostion means the charge density is not good. In your case one
possibility is that there are overlapping atoms, either within the
simulation cell, or between images in neighboring replicated cells. Have you
checked that the cell is large enough to incorporate all the molecules?

Best,
Weiyi
