[CP2K-user] [CP2K:14462] Regular grid of gaussians

Thank you for your answer.

I wrote a file MY-BASIS with the new basis for the element AGHOST with a 
basis set called my-basis-set. The beginning of such file reads
  AGHOST my-basis-set

Then I added

BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME MY-BASIS

to the &DFT section of the input file, 

&KIND AGHOST
BASIS_SET my-basis-set
GHOST
&END KIND

to the &SUBSYS section, and I put the coordinates of the AGHOST atoms I 
need to the XYZ file I use to define the topology of the system. I get the 
error 

Element <AGHOST> provided for KIND <AGHOST> which cannot be mapped
 with any standard element label. Please correct your input file! 

Is there something wrong I am doing?

Regards,
Paolo
