[molpro-user] Using basis sets from turbomole library.

Dear Sasha,
Maybe I am wrong, but I was of the impression that I added all the dhf
sets to the Molpro library. For example, the following input works for
me:

  geometry={Rb}
  basis=dhf-tzvp
  {df-rks,pbe; wf,spin=1}

(and produces the same output as basis=tzvp, which uses dhf- sets for
elements which have one, and def2 sets for the rest).

I also recommend caution regarding basis sets obtained from the
Turbomole web site. When I used it to generate the original
def2-*.libmol files, it produced massive amounts of errors, many of
which were very subtle. It might still help if you would file a bug
report to the Turbomole developers.
