Dear Forum

I have a problem running frequency calculations on "larger" systems (56 atoms). I am running into the ARMCI_DASSERT fail with errorcode 555.

0:0:uhf_fock_setup: could not allocate g_dens2:: 555
ARMCI DASSERT fail. src/common/armci.c:ARMCI_Error():208 cond:0


This my input, where I restart from a constrained geometry optimization (consgeo).
restart consgeo

I am running calculations with the nwchem_openmpi binary on a single processor. I have tried to run the same calculation with a nwchem binary I compiled myself on 8 processors with success. However, the calculation took 4 days and creates incredible large .sxmatices and .fxmatrices files (908 mb), which I believe is unnecessary for a system of this size. What is going wrong?
