I want to make a IRC, the transition state have a correct imaginary frequency and direction of vibration, however, the same error message always appear.

no matter i extract this TS structure or from the structure of intial guess to the end . here are the same error.

here are my input file

{optg,root=2,saveact=a28.ts

{optg,method=qsdpath,dir=1,numhess=5,saveact=a28.path}

readvar,a28.ts.act

{optg,method=qsdpath,dir=-1,numhess=5,saveact=a28.path,append}

{table,irc,e_opt

plot,file='a28.plot'}

put,molden,ts.molden

here are my error message

IDIR= 1 requested but starting point is not a stationary point. Gradient norm= 0.11D+00 Step length= 0.80D+01

? Error

? Not a stationary point

? The problem occurs in QSDPATH1
