a new user of nwchem, several issue for help!!

Clicked A Few Times
(1) as usually I want to type make to only compile the file I just modified and then link to executable. But to my surprise, it goes over the whole compilation again, which takes a long time. Is there a way to avoid it?

(2) I am trying to work with fractional nuclear charge, so I used some input file as the following

start h2o
title "Water in 6-31g basis set"

geometry units au
O 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000
Z 0.00000000 1.43042809 -1.10715266 charge 0.1
H 0.00000000 -1.43042809 -1.10715266
end
basis
Z library 6-31g
H library 6-31g
O library 6-31g
end
task scf


then, it complains

0:0:geom_input:center is neither atom nor bq:: -1

which is quite understandable if my interpretation is right to link the charge to a specified basis set file. So, how can I possibly fix this issue? (I want to use H library 6-31g for the factitious Z atom).

Thank you very much!
