[CP2K:6407] Re: CP2K Hangs

[Manav Kumar]

Hi Luiz,

James's recommendation of using a downgraded version of openmpi worked. If 
there is a CP2K module that you are using, you might want to ask your HPC 
system administrators to re-compile it for you. There are some tests that 
come with CP2K that weren't run and they revealed the problem with our 
version of CP2K.

Best,
Manav
