[molpro-user] FCI iteration termination: expansion set singular

[Tatiana Korona]

Dear Steven,

If the basis set is large and your distance is small, this can be a numerical 
linear dependency. You can try tighter thresholds for integrals etc. 
(gthresh,twoint=1.e-25) and see if this helps.

Best wishes,

Tatiana
