the ISPIN option works only with iterative Davidson eigensolver.

With CASSCF(2,2) and alike, Hamiltonian matrix is tiny and is
diagonalized directly using one of available diagonalization
routines rather than iteratively, so that the ISPIN option is
ignored.

My guess is that you set NSTATE to 2 and got two states,
namely lowest singlet and lowest triplet. This is why program
complains (as it needs two singlet states). Use NSTATE=3 and
you'll get two singlets and a triplet state.

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
