Dear All,

I am using ffTK to parameterize an isothiocyanate group following the
tutorial with VMD-1.9.2a33.

I read in the VMD development the following fix from V1.9.1:
*VMD 1.9.2 alpha 35 October 24, 2013*

   - fftk: fix for gaussian hessian calculation, should be version
   independent

Using the default Route on ffTK, Gaussian (g09) outputs with the error:

* The following ModRedundant input section has been read: B * *
R A * * * R L * * * * R D
* * * * R Unrecognized coordinate type "O" Error

RWF= 10 Int= 0 D2E= 0 Chk= 2 Scr= 1*

>From its Gaussian input file:

*%nproc=1%mem=1GB# MP2/6-31G* Geom=(ModRedundant,AllCheck) NoSymm

* * * * RB 2 1 1.0843778848648071*
*...etc.*

Again, I am experiencing the same errors after using the recommended
Route/command line:

*# MP2/6-31G* Geom=(ModRedundant,AllCheck) NoSymm IOp(7/33=1) SCF=Tight
Freq Guess=Read

Are there any other recommended routes please?

Many thanks.

Kind regards,
