Dear Mikhayla,
The first approach is correct. But you can make the second approach running 
by adding the HF section. The LibXC-related sections only affect the DFT 
part, not the HF part. It is always up to you to set it up because 
different systems require different setups regarding EPS_SCHWARZ, 
EPS_SCHWARZ_FORCES, MAX_MEMORY, CUTOFF_RADIUS etc.
HTH,
Frederick
