[molpro-user] Defining the Wavefunction/running triplet state energy calcs

Hey guys. A bit of an update. I think i figured out the symmetry thing by
talking to someone who knew a bit about that topic.

So my revised output, where I'm fully specifying the symmetry of the wave
function for completeness' sake is shown below. However, I still get errors
after the SCF portion. And I used print,orbitals so i could explicitly get
the symmetry of my MOs of the closed shell ethylene molecule (in a previous
calculation), so I would know what the symmetry of the triplet state should
be.

It still doesn't work! giving an error message in stdout shown below. The
last couple lines of the output are also shown. Now I'm starting to think
that I have to play around with occ,closed,core settings since its
"ambiguous" as to which of the virtual orbitals the excited electron would
be in since they are all of the same symmetry (Ag)?

As always, any input would be helpful. Sorry for the long read.

*Last few lines of output* - I'm confused as to why it says its trying
to access UHF info even though earlier it says ROHF was run. I assume it's
just a textual bug.
