could you please send me the complete input file (with orbitals),
as well as the input file that generates your input orbitals?

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

>If it helps, the input file starts as below.  Again, I have tried several options in $SCF, no change in iteration 1 and 2.  The $VEC is taken from a punch file of a HF/DZV(d,p) job at the same geometry.
