Dear all,
This was a error msg that I received when I performed a wavefunction 
optimization:

UNIV| THE LEADING MINOR OF ORDER    1 IS NOT POSITIVE DEFINITE,
UNIV| AND THE FACTORIZATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED.
STOPGM! STACK OF MAIN CALLS:
STOPGM! CALL     PCGRAD
STOPGM! CALL        RGS
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 PROGRAM STOPS IN SUBROUTINE UINV| ILLEGAL RESULTS DPOTRF

What could the possible reason be? Thanks for your time.

Attached is the input file.
