Dear Siesta users,

I am calculating vibrational frequencies with the vibrator package.
The system consists of a titanium oxide surface adsorbing an acid.
I first did geometry optimization with slabdipolecorrection and a certain 
k-grid.
Then I want to calculate the vibrational frequencies of the acid:

a) When applying the fcbuilld, I noticed that both slabdipolecorrection and
k-grid is not taken into account.
Is it necessary to add both parameters to calculate the vibrational frequencies
or is a calculation considering only the gamma point sufficient?

b) I am mostly interested in the vibrational frequencies of the acid on the 
surface.
Is it possible to calculate only the vibrational frequencies of the acid?

Kind regards,
