Hi Gleb,

I too used to get the same error when I was generating GGA pseudo for gold atom and then figured out it was a formatting error.

For ex., this input will generate pseudopotential but siesta will spit out the error

Caution: input files are strictly examples only! I myself have never tested them.

Greetings, Siesta users!

Does anyone know how to deal with "You are using an old psedopotential
file. Siesta needs a newer version." error message? I am using
siesta-2.0.1 version and generated my pseudopotential files for Ge and
H using this version.

Thank you :)
