Dear Matthias,

Please let me know if I should post this problem on the google groups page
rather than emailing you directly.

I am able to run cp2k jobs for Au3 and Au7 but when I try to run a job for
Au21 I get the error message:
Unknown element for KIND <79>. This problem can be fixed     *
 *  \___/  specifying properly elements in PDB or specifying a KIND section
or *
 *    |                getting in touch with one of  the developers!

As one of the developers, can you help with this? I have attached the .cp2k
file.

Thanks,
Ian
