Dear CCLers,

We had difficulties on calculation of the bond orders
of a molecule using the Gaussian 94 package.
Hopefully, someone can help us to solve this problem.

Thanks a lot in advance.

The input and output are as follows:

There have been several requests for information on compiling G98 on
Redhat 7.1 linux. I think all the answers have already been posted, but
here is a summary, followed by some questions:-

Add:-

#include <time.h>

in g98/bsd/mdutil.c after

#ifdef i386
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>

Alter these sections of i386.make, under the heading:-

# Exceptional link commands:

l402.exe: $(EXTRAS) l402.a
        $(RUNFSP) -e m$* $(BSDDIR)/main.F
        $(RUNMAKE) $(MAKELOC) OPTFLAG='$(OPTFLAG)' $(EXTRAS) $*.a m$*.o
        cp l402.a l402_save.a
        ar x l402.a bd0402.o
        ar d l402.a bd0402.o
        $(RUNF77) $(FFLAGS) -o $*.exe m$*.o $(EXTOBJ) $*.a bd0402.o \
            $(EXTRAS) $(GAULIB) $(LIBS)
        rm -f m$*.* bd0402.o
        mv l402_save.a l402.a

l609.exe: $(EXTRAS) l609.a
        $(RUNFSP) -e m$* $(BSDDIR)/main.F
        $(RUNMAKE) $(MAKELOC) OPTFLAG='$(OPTFLAG)' $(EXTRAS) $*.a m$*.o
        cp l609.a l609_save.a
        ar x l609.a bd0609.o
        ar d l609.a bd0609.o
        $(RUNF77) $(FFLAGS) -o $*.exe m$*.o $(EXTOBJ) $*.a bd0609.o \
            $(EXTRAS) $(GAULIB) $(LIBS)
        rm -f m$*.* bd0609.o
        mv l609_save.a l609.a

I have a few questions. The following flags are used:-

UNROLL = -Munroll
VECTOR = -Mvect=cachesize:524288
MACH = -tp p6

giving:-

pgf77    -O2 -tp p6  -Munroll -Mvect=cachesize:524288

'-tp p6' should be unnecessary as the compiler is supposed to select the
correct flag for the machine you are running on. 

Does -Munroll improve performance?

What does -Mvect=cachesize:524288 do? I used it for compiling Gamess(US)
and I got several errors including a total failure in a AM1 test. Would
altering the number help?

Would any other flags improve performance?

For Gamess(US), I tried '-fast' or its equivalent '-O2 -Munroll
-Munframe'. The results are a disaster - wrong energies, no SCF
convergence, etc. '-Munroll' is the problem.

Cheers, Brian.

Subject: SPARTAN 5.0 vs 5.1: coordinate driving
X-Sent-From: roberttopper@roberttopper.com

Hi all, a SPARTAN question.

I've searched the archives but to no avail...and I
also have asked the folks at Wavefunction, but they
seemed to not be able to respond to this question.

There are some important differences between versions
5.0 and 5.1 of SPARTAN. Specifically, the interfaces
for coordinate driving and conformer searching are 
quite different. In 5.0, the conformer search module
can be used to generate single-point energies 
as a function of a stiffly rotated dihedral angle
(without doing, say, a constrained optimization at each angle). 
However, in 5.1 this does not seem to be possible,
at least not with the dialogs and keywords we have
tried. The coordinate driving module seems to insist 
on doing a constrained optimization, whereas all I
want is a series of single-point energies as a function
of the dihedral angle.

Has anyone figured out how to do this in SPARTAN 5.1?

Thanks, and cheers-

Dear CCL'ers,

I would like to say thanks to Donald Boyd, Hong Jiang, Jaime Combariza,

Thanks a lot!

Here is the summary.

Hi Demetrio,
Take a look at the chapter by N. R. Kestner and J. E. Combariza, in Reviews=

 New

Good luck, Don

Hi, Demetrio Filho,
Counterpoise correction (CC) can be done in Gaussian by using the key word,=
=20
"massage". There is an article about BSSE in "Review in computational=20
chemistry" (the volume in 2000?), and at the end of the paper there is an=20
example of using CC in Gaussian.
I hope that will be helpful for you.
Good luck!

The keyword is MASSAGE.
I was not sure about the proper input

MP2/6-31++g Massage test

...... input

Assuming you want to get rid of the first three atoms.
Massage is used also to add functions to a particualr center

Demetrio,

You can use BSSE for dimers composed of equal molecules
without any problem.

Abra=E7os,
S=E9rgio

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you calculate a binding energy De as:
De =3D E{AB} -E{A} - E{B}
Using counterpoise, you calculate the monomer energies E{A} and E{B}
also in the complete dimer basis set. In Gaussian, you do this by
setting the nuclear charge of the second dimer (B for E{A} and
A for E{B}) to zero. This is done by the Massage keyword; see the
examples in the Gaussian manual (www.gaussian.com/00000452.htm).
(but don't believe what the manual says about counterpoise only
providing "a crude estimate" - see papers below).
Depending on how much your monomer geometries change upon complexation,
you may also have to take into account the monomer deformation energies
(the energy it takes to bring an anthracene molecule to the geometry it
has in the complex).
Some references:
- F.B. van Duijneveldt, J.G.C.M. van Duijneveldt-van de Rijdt, and
J.H. van Lenthe, Chem. Rev. 94, 1873, 1994 (on counterpoise theory)
- S. Simon, M. Duran, J.J. Dannenberg, J. Chem. Phys. 105, 1996
(on geometry optimizations on BSSE-corrected potential energy surfaces).
- F.B. van Duijneveldt, "Basis Superposition Error"
in "Molecular Interactions" S. Scheiner (ed.), Wiley (1997)
- T. van Mourik, A.K. Wilson, K.A. Peterson, D.E. Woon, T.H. Dunning, Jr.,
Adv. Quant. Chem. 31, 105, 1999 (showing BSSE effects on interaction
energies, distances, and frequencies).
You may also want to search the ccl archives; there have been a few=
 disussions
on counterpoise the last few years.
Hope that helps,
Tanja

Subject: summary: compile g98 in redhat 7.1 with pgf77
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=gb2312
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Dear all, 
   I'd like to thank those who helped me with compiling Gaussian98 in
RedHat 7.1, mostly Prof. Brain Salter -Duke and Dr. Doug. Most of the
details have been described in Prof. Salter's previous email, including
modifying mdutil.c, i386.make, etc. I also need to add one line in
bsd/bldg98 right after mkdir temputil to copy ntran.inc to temputil.
With all these changes, I am able to compile Gaussian98 with PGI
compiler under RedHat 7.1 with BLAS library provided with Gaussian98
package (not optimized). The performance on Athlon 1.0GHz with 512MB
memory for a 2-hour long HF/6-31G* ESP (electrostatic potential)
calculation (on SGI Origin 2000) is 10 min faster and gives identical
results. I tried other BLAS libraries from Greg Henry's websites. The
recommended 1.2f gives some reference error while compiling, the latest
1.3e for PIII passed the compilation, however failed at run time
(terminated at l401.exe). What BLAS library should I use to boost the
performance most? 

Best regards, 

Guanglei Cui
