Erros calculating the raman spectra


Click here for full thread
Clicked A Few Times
I am trying to calculate the raman spectra of a growing polyacetylene molecule. when I only have acetylene my calculation runs fine, but as soon as the molecule grows in size (10 atoms and more) I start getting all sorts of weird error messages.

For example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ssread: end of file reading from unit 67
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
current input line :
44: task dft raman numerical
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
An error occured while trying to read or write to disk space
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In some other cases it just shuts down, no real error message whatsoever:

I have seen also the appearance of this message popping up time and time again:
angular momentum value: 0 standard basis set name: "pcS-0"
input line that generated warning:
**** WARNING Zero Coefficient **** on atom " C"


After I saw these errors while using the basis set pcS-0, I figure I change it to aug-pcS-0 to see if the errors still persisted, but now instead I am getting errors like this one:
rtdb_seq_get: type mismatch "task:theory" in ./c16.db: arg=1000, db=1748661350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
task: no task input for theory? 0

current input line :
43: task dft optimize
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
An error occured in the Runtime Database

The input file that I am using looks like this:

end

end


task dft optimize

I would appreciate any advise!
