Dear NWChem developers,

I've compiled 6.5 version but unfirtunatelly cannot run optimization at mkccsd level.
The same problem I've met with version 6.3 where after http://www.nwchem-sw.org/images/Mrcctmp.patch.gz
patching situation even situation became worse - it could not reach convergence with mkccsd for hte startin geometry


input:

echo
start tce_mrcc_mkcc
memory stack 1000 mb heap 100 mb global 500 mb verify
geometry units au

H 0.00000000 2.27289450 -1.58834700

MRCC formalisms have been designed for single point calculations only.

Best,

It is not true. One can optimize geometry, saddle point and calculate frequencies with MRCC formalisms by using finite differences.
In this case I think MRCC iteration is unstable "Eigenvectors swaps", so you shell use another set of references orbitals (not cas 2 2).
