Hi

Please try the following setting, and it should work, but you may need to
check the convergence of R_CUTOFF (check the online manual for the default
setting):

     &XC
       &XC_FUNCTIONAL  PBE
       &END XC_FUNCTIONAL
       &VDW_POTENTIAL
         POTENTIAL_TYPE  PAIR_POTENTIAL
         &PAIR_POTENTIAL
           TYPE  DFTD3
           PARAMETER_FILE_NAME ./dftd3.dat
           REFERENCE_FUNCTIONAL PBE
           CALCULATE_C9_TERM  T
         &END PAIR_POTENTIAL
       &END VDW_POTENTIAL
     &END XC
