Hi

the error message is related to the functional used
in the TDDFT kernel.
You have to set for example
     &TDDFPT
       &XC
         &XC_FUNCTIONAL PBE
         &END XC_FUNCTIONAL
         &XC_GRID
           XC_DERIV NN10_SMOOTH
         &END XC_GRID
       &END XC
     &END TDDFPT

regards

Juerg Hutter
