A user at SDSC ( www.sdsc.edu) was trying to run a vasp job on our expanse cluster ( www.sdsc.edu/systems/expanse/user_guide.html)
The error message was:

Dear Jerry,
Thank you for your question.
I've tried to run this calculation with VASP 6.2.1 and I was not able to reproduce this error. What compiler and libraries are you using? Could you provide your makefile.include? Also, we have a list of toolchains we tests ourselves. Are you building VASP with one of the toolchains from this list?
Also, I imagine that this problem would show for other calculations. Were you able to run all tests from the testsuite with this version of VASP?
Best,
Alexey
