[CP2K:6122] Re: Issue with symmetry

Thank you again for the reply.  I thought this was a really good suggestion
so I was surprised to see that it didn't work (and also felt silly that I
didn't think of it myself).

I ran the program twice, with inputs:

(run *759)

    &CELL
      ABC 16.000 15.600 15.600
      ALPHA_BETA_GAMMA 90.00000000 86.40000000 90.00000000
      SYMMETRY MONOCLINIC
    &END CELL

and

(run *762)

    &CELL
      ABC 16.000 15.600 15.600
      ALPHA_BETA_GAMMA 90.00000000 90.00000000 86.40000000
      SYMMETRY MONOCLINIC
    &END CELL

Both runs ended with errors.

Interestingly, in both cases, the output has the following information in
the beginning:

CELL_TOP| Volume [angstrom^3]:
3886.077
 CELL_TOP| Vector a [angstrom    16.000     0.000     0.000    |a| =
 16.000
 CELL_TOP| Vector b [angstrom     0.000    15.600     0.000    |b| =
 15.600
 CELL_TOP| Vector c [angstrom     0.000     0.000    15.600    |c| =
 15.600
 CELL_TOP| Angle (b,c), alpha [degree]:
90.000
 CELL_TOP| Angle (a,c), beta  [degree]:
90.000
 CELL_TOP| Angle (a,b), gamma [degree]:
90.000
 CELL_TOP| Requested initial symmetry:
 MONOCLINIC
 CELL_TOP| Numerically orthorhombic:
  YES

So still the angles are being overwritten.  However, something else is
clearly breaking because the program is ending with errors.  I don't really
know how to interpret the error reports in great detail, but I have
attached them in case they prove useful.

Any thoughts?

Laszlo
