280. gOpenMol on Debian Wheezy

This is a quick description of how to install gOpenMol (software for visualising output from various comp. chem. packages) on debian:

wget http://www.csc.fi/english/pages/g0penMol/Downloads/gopenmol-3.00-linux.tar.gz
gopenmol-3.00-linux.tar.gz
tar xvf gopenmol-3.00-linux.tar.gz
sudo mv gOpenMol-3.00 /opt/
/opt/gOpenMol-3.00/./install
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gOpenMol-3.00/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
rungOpenMol

I'm having issues with a transparent background in the main window on my nvidia box. Not sure what it's like  on other machines.

  3. I've just had the same issue on Ubuntu 14.10 32bit., also an issue with being unable to type filenames in dialog boxes.

    The solution for me was to compile gOpenMol from the supplied source code (in the src/ directory). I needed to install the following libraries (plus their dependencies):

    tk8.4-dev (Tcl/Tk 8.6 didn't work)
    libjpeg-dev
    python-dev
    libglu1-mesa-dev
    freeglut3-dev
    bwidget

    Hope this helps!
