thank you very much for your answer Steven. We have been compiling siesta since 
2008 with intel compilers and never saw this problem.
The problem occurs for the serial version, so intel“s mpi is not the problem, 
maybe mkl...

If somebody has been able to run calculations for hydrogen  using the trunk458 
version, would you please share the pseudo?

Many thanks.

Best regards,

                            pablo

If you compile with intel this might well be the problem. I will see how one of 
our PhDs students found a way round tomorrow (Monday)

  Dear all,

                   we have compiled the trunk version 458 employing mpiifort 
4.1.0.024 and MKL 10.3 update 6. When VDW-DF calculations are performed for 
hydrogen containing systems, we always got the error message:
  GHOST: WARNING: Ghost state for L =  1
  KBgen: WARNING: Some parameter should be changed in the
  KBgen: WARNING: pseudopotential generation procedure.
  Stopping Program from Node:    0

  Many pseudos for hydrogen were tested and we always receive the same error 
message. The thing which puzzles us more is that the pseudos that we have work 
well with previous versions of siesta (like trunk 320 and trunk339).

  Notes: a) The problem only occurs when the VDW-DF functional is called, for 
PBE everything goes well.
             b)  For C,N,O,F,S,Si the VDW-DF pseudos work well

  any clue?

  Many thanks

  Best regards,
