[CP2K:7393] OR eigensolver+BFGS geo_optimizer error

[Iain Bethune]

Dear ER,

Firstly, you might want to consider upgrading to a more recent version of CP2K (for performance, features and bug-fixes).

Second, some hints that might help resolve your problem can be found at https://www.cp2k.org/faq:cholesky_decomp_failed

Cheers

- Iain

Changing the solver to Digonalization proceeds on successfully (attached 1.inp), but I would like to use OT throughout for its fast performance. I tested the combination OT+BFGS for the small system of H2O (attached 2.inp), with and without pinning the atoms, and that worked fine: so why doesn't work for the large system? Please help me figure out where the problem lies.
