FINISH
The red 0 in column 10 is the change compared to your .mol file, it tells Dirac to use zero symmetry operators, which is the same as telling Dirac not to attempt to use symmetry. I quickly tested this change with your molecule, but STO-3G and LDA, and the geometry converged in six geometry iterations.
Two more comments:
I recommend to use the standard DFT grid, i.e. remove the *GRID section in the .inp file. Do not use the lousy dft grid from the test suite, it is there to test that setting your own grid works.
I can also see that the output becomes much too verbose with 103 SCF evaluations for each molecular gradient (1.3 million lines in my STO-3G, LDA test), I will reduce that in next version of DIRAC.
Best regards, Hans Jørgen.

Yes, Dirac calculated the molecular gradients analytically. This is NOT related to convergence in 4 geometry steps, the geometry convergence algorithm is the same no matter how the gradients were evaluated (as long as the molecular gradient is correct, of course). Thus, it would have been the same convergence with numerical molecular gradients.
For the pcm case analytical molecular gradients is not implemented, and you stopped it before finishing the calculation of the first numerical gradient.
Regards, Hans Jørgen.
