CCL:G: SCF is confused?

 Try a single point HF calculation, then your MP2 calculation with Keyword
 guess=read. If it does not work, you can try other intermediary single point
 calculations with smaller basis set and poor convergence in SCF options.

 Hi CCL,
 I am trying to run a BSSE single-point calculation (counterpoise) using MP2 on
 an organotin compound.  The tin atom is described using the Stuttgart ECP and an
 augmented, triple-zeta basis set.  After running for 11 hours the calculation
 dies uncompleted and the output (copied below) says that Density matrix is not
 changing but DIIS error and the SCF is confused.  I have run similar
 calculations with the same method on different organotin compounds and this is
 the only one giving me trouble.  I want to keep the method (MP2) and basis set
 consistent between compounds  is there anything I can do to make resolve this
 problem and allow the calculations to complete normally?  I have also included
 the first lines of the input file for this calculation.
 I thank you all in advance for any suggestions,
 Sarah Whittleton
