BAD TERMINATION OF ONE OF YOUR APPLICATION PROCESSES


Clicked A Few Times
Hello

I am using Nwchem software and trying to optimize the energy for a system containg 69 atoms.

But my job terminates after giving following error:

  Non-variational initial energy
------------------------------

Total energy =            NaN
1-e energy = NaN
2-e energy = NaN
HOMO = -82.326221
LUMO = -82.303736

  Time after variat. SCF:    229.0
Time prior to 1st pass: 229.2

Grid_pts file          = ./zno_h2o.gridpts.00
Record size in doubles = 12289 No. of grid_pts per rec = 3070
Max. records in memory = 55 Max. recs in file = 63328179

PeIGS error from dstebz 4 ...trying dsterf 

=========================================================================
= BAD TERMINATION OF ONE OF YOUR APPLICATION PROCESSES
= EXIT CODE: 139
= CLEANING UP REMAINING PROCESSES
= YOU CAN IGNORE THE BELOW CLEANUP MESSAGES
=========================================================================
APPLICATION TERMINATED WITH THE EXIT STRING: Segmentation fault (signal 11)

I cannot get the problem. kindly help me to solve this


Thank you

The problem with this input file is that the basis set for the oxygen atom is repeated twice, therefore you end up with a duplication of functions on the oxygen atoms.
You might want to use the "*" option to input basis set to avoid this kind of problems, e.g.

basis
 * library 6-31g
end
