For your reference, you can find the list of Firefly's command line options here:

http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/comm_line.html

Please check if there are no command line errors.

In addition, you need to check permissions set on the Firefly's
working directory. You man need to adjust them to allow Firefly
to use it.

Kind regards,
