You have to use the  pop=(mk,readrad) options and add the Pt VDW
radius (in Angstroms) at the end of the g98 input file, after your 
molecule coordinates, i.e.,
-----------
...
# B3LYP/LANL2DZ pop=(mk,readrad) iop(6/33=2) ...
...  ...    ...     ...
Atom xcoord ycoord zcoord
Pt 1.20
-----------
(I INVENTED the 1.20 value, you have to look for the actual one)
Hope it helps,
Elsa
