I have changed your input a bit. Attached is corrected
input file as well as produced output file.

In brief, you need to correct mistakes in $cidrt group.
Next, ROHF GUGA CI allows only numerical gradients
so you need to use them for optimization. In addition,
you need to specify some more options to numerical gradient
code to optimize second CI root (the first excited CI state).

As to GUGA vs. CIS code, as far as I understand GUGA code
should produce results identical to XCIS (see  http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp952754j for details).

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

>I have many molecules calculated by CIS before. Now, I need to calculate free radicals so GUGA is employed since CIS cannot handle free radical. Can the results from the below input be "fairly" compared with the CIS results? I hope the comparison between the properties of molecules calculated using CIS and those using GUGA does not affected by different algorithms.
