Dear all,
I was calculating optimization for S2/S1 conical intersection in Molpro-2015 version using the following input file.

   The first CASSCF calculation is completed but during the gradient calculation the following error is occured.

***************************************************************************************

  PROGRAM * FORCE (Gradient of the energy)

 GENERAL BASIS CONTRACTION NOT IMPLEMENTED IN CADPAC GRADIENTS

 Please try with segmented basis set

I am not able to solve this error. Kindly help me to resolve it. Looking forward to a reply.


Thanks & regards,
