When performing the XMCQDPT2 calculation I encountered the following problem：
the job exited at the "ROUTINE MQCACI" and the error information is related to the memory usage:

********** ROUTINE MQCACI **********************************************
***** ERROR: MEMORY REQUEST EXCEEDS MAXIMUM.
 1298573444 WORDS REQUIRED    300000000 AVAILABLE.

Thus, it seems that there are not enough memory to carry this job. However, in my input file I have set

$MCSCF IFORB=.T. $END
$XMCQDPT IFORB(1)=-1,1,1 $END

as described in:
http://classic.chem.msu.su/cgi-bin/ceilidh.exe/gran/gamess/forum/?C35e9ea902bHW-8295-1009+00.htm

these settings will avoid the first integral transformation and CASCI procedure (performed by the routine MQCACI) by overlapping part of calculations with those performed at the MCSCF stage and reusing them at XMCQDPT2 stage.

So, why this error occurred and is there a way to resolve this problem? Thanks.

The system I studied is the same as ref:
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1134%2FS1990793108050023?LI=true
The NACT and NELS I used is also same to the above ref, so this job should be carried out by firefly.
