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

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
