You can optimize geometry with (X)MCQDPT. You need FF8.x version. Analytical gradient is not available. Unfortunately, this is really new feature of FF8 and probably you should start from very simple examples to understand how it works. Of course, it depends from the system of study. If it is really not necessary to use QDPT approach you can use CASSCF instead or MP2 or DFT. Again, i have no idea what you are doing. Try to formulate your chemical problem and we will try to give you advices with its solutions.

>>QDPT numeric gradient is available only in 8.x versions. $p2p doesn't effect gradient itself. If you want to get any help, please describe your problem and we will help you to create correct input file. Right now you are mixing different calculations that is not compatible to each other.
>>Syntax of numeric QDPT gradient is not trivial. I have never tried it by myself. Anyway, let start from formulation of your problem.
