Hi,

I have been trying to find the electronic energy of a small molecule with 21 atoms. When I tried to run it I received an error,

input_mem_size: memory [[total] <total_size>] [heap <heap_size>] [stack <stack_size>] [global <global_size>] [<units>] [verify|noverify] [hardfail|nohardfail]                   0

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 input error at line    5: illegal character reading floating point number

 memory total 1000mb

 .................*.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  current input line : 

     5: memory total 1000mb

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 There is an error in the input file

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 For more information see the NWChem manual at 

 http://www.nwchem-sw.org/index.php/NWChem_Documentation

 For further details see manual section: 

-1:0:input_mem_size: memory [[total] <total_size>] [heap <heap_size>] [stack <stack_size>] [global <global_size>] [<units>] [verify|noverify] [hardfail|nohardfail]:: -1

My Input file is as follows

Space is needed before the memory units. For example
memory total 1000 mb
memory total 1000 mb global 400 mb
memory stack 500 mb heap 100 mb global 400 mb

Please post complete input and output files. If you add the echo keyword in the first line of to the input file, understanding your issue would be easier.
