SETTING UP gaussview in your local linux machine

Update: gaussview is already installed and accessible with the command gview

1. Create a usergroup named gaussian in your local machine. Put the users that want to use gv5 in this group. Usually yourself.

2. Copy the file from the repository into the /usr/local directory tree.

Example

  a) mkdir /apps/gaussview5
  b) cd /apps/gaussview5
  c) scp tccguest@aliga.iciq.es:/users_area/gaussian/gaussview5-linux64/gv5.tgz .
  d) tar -xzvf gv5.tgz

3. Change the group owner of the /apps/gaussview5/gv folder to gaussian chgrp -R gaussian /apps/gaussview5/gv

4. Check the file /apps/gaussview5/gv/gv5 and copy it to some directory in your execution path.

Example:

  vi /apps/gaussview5/gv/gv5
  cp apps/gaussview5/gv/gv5 /usr/local/bin

3. Try to execute gv5. If it misses some shared library, try to find them in internet and put them in /usr/local/g03.C02/gv5/lib

4. If it does not work, you may have insoluble problems with your graphic set-up. Bad luck.
