Hi Neo,

The DFT module assumes by default that you are performing a closed shell calculation. However, neutral OH has 9 electrons and hence there is no way to make a closed shell wavefunction out of this. Depending on what problem you want to solve you can either add a charge, for example, add

   charge -1

to create an OH-, specify a spin multiplicity, for example,

  dft
...
odft
mult 2
end

to tell the code to do an unrestricted doublet DFT calculation. I hope this helps.
