Dear Molpro forum,

As a follow-up to this thread: https://groups.google.com/g/molpro-user/c/R-cl8B9FZXg, I have now been trying to perform LDF-HF embedded cluster calculations, where I use effective core potentials, with custom basis sets, as an embedding potential. I get the same error of:

Please specify a default basis or define basis sets for all atoms!
 ? Error
 ? Cannot find MINAO-PP in basis catalogue
 ? The problem occurs in binput

This time, trying to specify the minimal AO basis set with ao= in the ldf-rhf program does not work, is there a different parameter name for specifying these basis sets in the ldf-rhf program? Of course, it can be solved if I specify loc_method=pm to solve it but I would prefer IBOs.

Best wishes,
Benjamin
