Dear admin:
I encountered this error when running the vasp 4.6, I am doing the polarization calculation of the example provided by

The POTCAR is cat from PAW_GGA

The POSCAR as before.
but after the calculation, an error always occurs in the OUTCAR:
an error always occurs in the OUTCAR:

Error in subroutine BERRY: did not find all determinants

Matrix CMK is not an nxn matrix for
ISTR = 1 j = 0

I have try to set the k-points as
k-points

But the problem still exist, would you give me some advise?

Best wishes.

I had same problem but i solve the problem by increasing NPPSTR-tag.

Perhaps the question is your VASP's version.
