There's an issue with the new release of MOPAC2009 : Avogadro freezes when I want to render MOs.

I found out the AUX file does not contain all the eigenvalues and occupancies that Avogadro needs.

I would suggest to adapt Avogadro to this new AUX file shape and/or always add "LARGE" as a MOPAC keyword to generate the old-shape AUX file and avoid the problem.

Please find attached a zip file that contains the AUX files generated from the same MOP file using two different versions of MOPAC2009.

    I will look into this, I didn't realize he had modified the output file and do not have access to the latest version.

    This should be fixed for 1.0.2, at least with the LARGE keyword.

    http://review.source.kitware.com/1342 contains the simple fix, like I said in the commit message, I am working on a fuller fix but this at least restores the previous behavior. I tested it locally, and it looks good here.

    I merged in the simple fix, and will finish off the fuller patch later. This will resolve the immediate issue for you, and will make it into our next release (1.0.2).
