a GEO_OPT calculation of calcite

[Mengjia He]

Thank you Matt.

YES, the input started running OK, but stopped at 17 steps with the error 
mentioned above.

I have carried out the modified inp file removing the STRESS_TENSOR 
NUMERICAL and increasing the cutoff to 500 Ry. The result seems to be more 
far away from convergence, though it isn't ending now. 
( I've add the xyz to attanchment.)

Actually I wanna a CELL_OPT for calcite calculation at first. But the 
result turned out badly. The Convergence check always showed NO of all and 
the structures of xyz file became stranger , likely the whole crystal 
structure dispersing ( almost like the attanchment). So I turned  GEO_OPT 
to check first. 

Could you please suggest me what else can be done for the GEO_OPT?

PS: As a new user of CP2K, would you like to tell me how to set the 
cutoff correctly and fast? (I learned the tutorial 
http://www.cp2k.org/howto:converging_cutoff. And I wonder if there's any 
file to summarize the cutoff set?)

Cheers.
Mengjia
