[CP2K-user] [CP2K:22388] Re: Error in BS calculations with HSE06 functional: required libint was not linked with CP2K

Hi Frederick,

I've switched to cp2k/2026.1 and run the input scripts. Unfortunately, it 
still returned error like "CPASSERT failed". Then I tried to decrease 
EPS_DEFAULT from 1.0E-11 to 1.0E-13 as suggested. It can run but terminate 
at some point. 

For your reference, I've added the log files in the attachment. Please have 
a look.

Just wondering that do you have any advice on this?

Cheers,
Weiyi
