ROKS error

[Matthias]

Dear Eileen,

there are two different ROKS schemes implemented in CP2K: one is only
working with diagonalization (like in GAMESS and other QC codes) and
the other one is only working with orbital transformations (OT). If
ROKS is requested, then the ROKS scheme is selected due to the
requested solver, ie. diagonalization or OT. The ROKS_* keywords in
the SCF section affect only the ROKS diag. scheme. The default HIGH-
SPIN for ROKS_SCHEME should  work, GENERAL is experimental. For the OT
ROKS scheme the ROTATION flag in the OT section should be turned on as
already suggested by Matt.
