Dear all,
I have installed cp2k with SIRIUS successfully and complied with no error. But when I run cp2k with SIRIUS, it will bring the error shown in the title. I used toolchain to install all the dependencies and I also used docker to pull cp2k. The error is all the same. Has someone met the same error? Can someone help me? 
Thanks sincerely!

Sincerely,
Gengxin

Dear Gengxin!
Can you share your input file and pseudopotentials?

With kind regards,
Anton.

Of course, thanks so much for your reply. I download the input file from dcccc/Plane_Wave_DFT example and the pseudopotential is GTH. It is just a very simple test structure CH4.

Dear Gengxin!

try to use

SMEARING_WIDTH 0.01
NUM_MAG_DIMS 0

Rationale: smearing can't be zero, and sufficiently small value will give the correct occupancy. CH4 is not magnetic, so non-spin polarized calculation should be enough.

With kind regards,
Anton.

Dear Anton,
