What do the input and complete output files look like?

Pretty obvious that the SCF failed to converge. We'd need the files to
diagnose the problem.

All,


I have the following header commands for my xyz_small_opt.in file as
generated by MCPB.py


$SYSTEM MEMDDI=400 MWORDS=200 $END

 $CONTRL DFTTYP=B3LYP RUNTYP=OPTIMIZE ICHARG=6 MULT=1 $END

 $STATPT NSTEP=1000 $END

 $BASIS GBASIS=N31 NGAUSS=6 NDFUNC=1 $END


This gives the following error when executing this file with GAMESS (ran
from the GUI interface "GamessQ")

Can someone suggest the modification needed (to the input file commands??)
to prevent this error?
