Geometry optimization by using LIBXC caused no SCF iteration with error NaN

Hi, all

I am trying to use M06-2X functional in CP2K (PBE potential)  to compare 
the binding energy of CO2  with Gaussian results( also use M06-2X 
functional, same basis sets). 

But the calculation stops  at the SCF every time with the following 
information. But if I change the functional M06-2X to PBE, the job runs 
well. 

Anyone know what's the problem? Any suggestion will be help. 
Thanks very much.
