Dear SIESTA developers and users,
 

 
I am a post-doctoral researcher (Chao Zhou, Jilin University) trying to couple 
SIESTA 5.4 with TB2J to extract magnetic exchange parameters for a Fe?CP?CS 
compound.  My DFT+U spin-polarised calculation stops at the very first SCF 
cycle with
hubbard_term: not computing occupations in the first SCF step
cdiag: Error in Cholesky factorisation
Stopping Program from Node:    0



 
I have already checked that my structure is sound, so could this be due to my 
compilation or some other issue? Below I attach my calculation parameters for 
reference.
