VASP 5.3 runing with numerical error

[devounoide]

I have used the following makefile to compile vasp 5.3 on supercomputer equipped with Dual Intel E5-2670 8 Core (Sandy Bridge) @ 2.6 GHz.
I have got different results running demo jobs provided with your website handouts.
Can anyone help me find out anything wrong with flags set in the makefile?

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Makefile for Intel Fortran compiler for Pentium/Athlon/Opteron
# bases systems
# we recommend this makefile for both Intel as well as AMD systems
# for AMD based systems appropriate BLAS and fftw libraries are
# however mandatory (whereas they are optional for Intel platforms)
#
# The makefile was tested only under Linux on Intel and AMD platforms
# the following compiler versions have been tested:
# - ifc.7.1 works stable somewhat slow but reliably
# - ifc.8.1 fails to compile the code properly
# - ifc.9.1 recommended (both for 32 and 64 bit)
# - ifc.10.1 partially recommended (both for 32 and 64 bit)
# tested build 20080312 Package ID: l_fc_p_10.1.015
# the gamma only mpi version can not be compiles
# using ifc.10.1
# - ifc.11.1 strongly recommended (we use this to compile vasp)
# Build 20090630 Package ID: l_cprof_p_11.1.046
#
# it might be required to change some of library pathes, since
# LINUX installation vary a lot
# Hence check ***ALL*** options in this makefile very carefully
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# BLAS must be installed on the machine
# there are several options:
# 1) very slow but works:
# retrieve the lapackage from ftp.netlib.org
# and compile the blas routines (BLAS/SRC directory)
# please use g77 or f77 for the compilation. When I tried to
# use pgf77 or pgf90 for BLAS, VASP hang up when calling
# ZHEEV (however this was with lapack 1.1 now I use lapack 2.0)
# 2) more desirable: get an optimized BLAS
#
# the two most reliable packages around are presently:
# 2a) Intels own optimised BLAS (PIII, P4, PD, PC2, Itanium)
# http://developer.intel.com/software/products/mkl/
# this is really excellent, if you use Intel CPU's
#
# 2b) probably fastest SSE2 (4 GFlops on P4, 2.53 GHz, 16 GFlops PD,
# around 30 GFlops on Quad core)
