I've compiled NWChem 6.6-rev27746 and applied all 19 patches on an CentOS 7.2 system using the Intel 2016.3.210 compilers. The compile was configured with 64_to_32, MKL, SCALAPACK, ELPA.

I've been running some initial calculations of small molecules as a test. The B3LYP, M11, M06-2X simlulations all complete. Furthermore, the B3LYP-D3 calculations for the same molecules also work.

As for B3LYP-D3(BJ), most of the small molecules run; however, it fails for the following input. Here is the input file:

echo

And here are the first iterations of the SCF:

The main difference between this molecule and others is the use of the 'X' atom. I'm wondering if that is causing the error.

Thanks.
