I am running this i/p file on Windows. I have the external basis set files in the folders 631b-bas and sto3g-bas. But I am getting the following error:
                                 

THE POINT GROUP OF THE MOLECULE IS C1      
THE ORDER OF THE PRINCIPAL AXIS IS     0
**** ERROR READING VARIABLE SCFAC    CHECK COLUMN 22

....V....1....V....2....V....3....V....4....V....5....V....6....V....7....V....8

ADDRESS 0x0058EB17 HAS INITIATED PROGRAM ABORT BECAUSE OF FATAL ERROR(S)

Please suggest me the correct way to run my i/p file.

Regards,

>>In the same example, could you replace the "H" atoms with a Gold atom and send me back the new input file? What inbuilt basis set would be good for adding metals? I donot want to use external basis set. Of course the inbuilt one should provide necessary accuracy. How do I mention 6-31G (d,p) in the same format?
