in a gamma point calculation i am getting an warnning like:

the charge density cannot be integrated up to the required numberof electrons, (using the gamma point only, Fermi spearing and a broadening at the fermi edge as given by SIGMA (please check OUTCAR for the actual SIGMA)
please check:
1) is it justified to use gamma only (in case you have a bulk cell, 1 k-point is scertainly not enough for a cell of 8 atoms)
2) for a cluster or a molecule, the default SIGMA is not appropriate (line spectra, no broadening)
3) alternatively, you may use gaussian integration (ISMEAR=0)
