Dear all

Hi, I ran a simple bsse calculation with the input from nwchem website but I faced the following error:

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 bsse_input: unexpected eof                  911
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 input error at line   25: no terminating quote for string
  input_wghost "scf
 ..................
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  current input line :
    25:  input_wghost "scf
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 There is an error in the input file
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

the input file is the following:

title znwater
start znwater
echo
geometry noautoz units angstrom
  symmetry c1
  Zn -1.89334 -0.72741 -0.00000
  O -0.20798 0.25012 0.00000
  H -0.14200 1.24982 -0.00000
  H 0.69236 -0.18874 -0.00000
end
basis "ao basis"
  O library 6-31G
  Zn library 6-31G
  H library 6-31G
  bqO library O 6-31G
  bqZn library Zn 6-31G
  bqH library H 6-31G
end
charge 2
scf; direct; end
mp2; end
bsse
 mon metal 1
 charge 2
 input_wghost "scf; maxiter 200; end"
 mon water 2 3 4
end
task mp2 optimize

And I have taken this input from the nwchem website https://nwchemgit.github.io/TASK.html

I would really appreciate if someone could explain why this error appears. I believe the input is fine because end is present at the end of input_wghost. I am using nwchem 6.6.

kind regards

jae

The input_wghost line needs to have a backslash character "\" before each semicolon ";" character.
The documentation page on the website has been updated
