So it means the GAMESS program is not correctly installed...

You need to correctly install the GAMESS and RESP programs before to
execute R.E.D.

"set: Syntax Error."
   -> this is a csh error.
   -> I guess this means you introduced an error in the 'rungms' script...

When using R.E.D.:
- always test Gaussian, GAMESS or Firefly in a standalone mode; i.e.
without R.E.D. before executing R.E.D.
- run also the RESP program in a standalone mode (simply type the
'resp' command in a terminal); you should get:
  usage: resp [-O] -i input -o output -p punch -q qin -t qout -e
espot -w qwts -s esout
- Then, when executing R.E.D. for the first time; set $CHR_TYP = "DEBUG"
See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#7
thus system errors printed in the console will be displayed (while
when using $CHR_TYP = "RESP-A1" these errors and other unwanted
messages generated by the interfaced programs are hidden).

regards, Francois
