[CP2K-user] Geo-opt for gas molecule (

Hello everyone, 

I am doing geometry optimization using cp2k for isopropanol alcohol (gas 
phase).  However, I don't know how to fix the error below: Can anyone help 
me with it? (I centered my molecule using         &CENTER_COORDINATES)
*** WARNING in pw/ps_wavelet_methods.F:236 :: Density non-zero on the edges 
of the unit cell: wrong results in WAVELET solver 

Will the cell size affect the geometry optimization results for 
single-molecule in the gas phase?  and do I have to use a cubic cell?
       &CELL                         
       PERIODIC NONE

       ALPHA_BETA_GAMMA 60.0 60.0 60.0
      &END CELL
