Congratulations... most people have lots of trouble arriving to this step.

Well, as you will notice in computational work, producing an executable is
one thing. Producing an executable that actually works is a whole other
story... Many different factors could be leading to this, and the
information you are providing is too little. Often, the source of the
problem is in the compiler you are using, or in your compilation options. My
suggestion is that you provide as much information as you can on the
problem. This would include typically:

1) Compiler (with version number: ifort 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 11.0, 11.1?),
mathematical libraries?

2) arch.make so we can see what compilation options you are choosing for
your build of siesta

3) fdf file to allow for checking if there's anything weird in your input.

And it's always advisable to check the list archives for possible problems
about the compiler version, math libraries, and the particular system you
are working on - most probably someone has had the same problems as you are
having now.

Cheers,

Marcos
