Non-Collinear Execution Problem on Vasp 5.2

[enlvamp]

Dear Friends from Vasp forum, as well know to you all, to make a vasp 4.6 or older version non-collinear calculation was just necessary to take out the option -DNGXhalf , if it were to be run in serial mode, or take out the option -DNGZhalf for parallel mode in CPP line.
Unfortunately on vasp 5.2 we havent been able ro run the executable. it starts but after a few seconds stops without a clear reason. The Makefile were using works very good, and it's based on the 4.6 makefile which we've been using for years.
Has anyone come to this problem ? if so, how was it resolved ?
Thanks in advance .
Im attaching 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
#
# 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)

[admin]

if there are no useful hints on why the job crashed, please check whether you may have memory or stack size problems:
1) run a very small cell with non-collinear setup just to test (eg 2 Fe atoms,...) if that works, the executable itself is ok, then, next
2) please check if ulimit -s returns unlimited as output. If it does not, please add the line
ulimit -s unlimited
in the .bashrc file (or the rc file of the sehll you use)

[enlvamp]

Thanks for your reply Head admin, but unfortunately we didn't got sucess [:(]
I found out thats a matter of memory problem and maybe something else because if i reduce the number of plane waves considerably it works, and by the way, do you know whats the mining of the option -DMPI_BLOCK in cpp line ?

[admin]

alternatively, you can also increase the number of parallel processors on which you run the job, the memory is distributed over the nodes.

[enlvamp]

Unfortunately it's not working, dont know what to do, i re-did all the stuff again downloaded the open libs (lapack, blacs, blas, scalapack) to check if the problem was with my mkl , compiled all the libs apart and them changed the makefile and it compiled but didn't run.
