I apologize for such simple questions...

We are trying to run a Geometry Optimization on PH3. We are using Mopac2007 MINDO/3 and GAMESS RHF Basic 3-21G.

Both jobs fail. I have attached the raw outputs. Any help is appreciated.

MOPAC2007 MINDO/3
MOPAC2007 MINDO3.txt (1.8 k)

GAMESS RHF Basic 3-21G
GAMESS RHF Basic.txt (0.7 k)

One problem solved. MOPAC2007 does not have MINDO/3 capability.

This leads to a new question: Is there a way to remove MINDO/3 from the Theory list?

You can just edit mopac.html to remove/edit the items. I wasn't aware of the omission either!

Thanks!

It turns out that all of our GAMESS jobs are failing. We get essentially the same raw output as the one posted above. I don't understand what it is telling me.

Do you have any thoughts about the error with GAMESS?

Again, Thanks!
Pete

I resolved my GAMESS issue by upgrading to WinGAMESS 2010. I don't know what the problem was, but it's fixed now.

Thanks!
