Hello Chris,
While writing Gaussian Input file for hessian calculation in FFTK, two files (one is *-hess.chk and other is *-hess.gau) are generated. I kept both file in same folder during gaussian calculation but got the following error message:

Also I used only one gaussian input file (*-hess.gau) during gaussian calculation and again I got the following different error message then previous :

Also I got confused whether one or both files should use during calculation. Could you please help me to solve this problem. I can provide you gaussian input files if needed.

Thanks
