Re: Memory error

It's a (probably harmless) bug: as it says, some memory allocations are not released. That in itself should not cause any issue, but it may be a sign of something else.

Try with a more recent version of OpenMolcas and/or add "-D DEBUG_DEFS=_DEVEL_" to the cmake command and compile (this should turn the error into a warning)
