problems installing/running VASP 5.2

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install the VASP 5.2 in a cluster of computers; the compilation runs without any error but when I try to run middle or big calculations, they run during some steps and then they block. For example, if I run a optimization of a small molecule as the water the calculation runs without any problem and the energy obtained is correct but if I try to run a bigger calculation as for example the water on a surface the calculation fall in zombie state after some steps.

Can anyone help me?

This is the makefile that I used in the compilation:

The exe should be ok. This behaviour indicates some memory challange. Provide the INCAR & POSCAR, please.

Cheers,
