Hi all,
I am a total newbie to linux. I'm trying to install rasmol 2.7.2.1.1 and i'm following the instructions from
evl.uic.edu/cavern/agave/docs-rasmol/instructions.htm

I've done up to step 5, but when I type 'make' at the shell (in the RasMol2 folder), I get
make: xxx [rasmol.o] ERROR 1

What does that mean and what do I have to do to rectify this? I assume that from step 7, a rasmol.exe file has to be created so that I can run rasmol.

Can you post several more lines before the error?

Hi,
Sorry I took so long!!!! Here’s the full error message that I got when I typed in ‘make’ in the RasMol2 folder:

Still don't know what this means...

I tried to follow your step on my Penguin rasmol_2.7.2.1.1 package http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/s...7.2.1.1.tar.gz (follow from www.rasmol.org)

#1. UIC instruction failed, however error is different.
#2. instruction with that package succeeded, no trouble.

I guess you have two options, A) follow #2 above, B) correct error.

If you want to follow B), you will need to locate your termio.h file. (I have /usr/include/termio.h) so edit rasmol.c so that compiler can find it, then see what happens.

I recommend A).

I made an idiot mistake.

UIC instruction is for 2.6.

If you download from the site I posted, follow 2.7.7.1 instruction (xmkmf, make...)
If you download from UIC link, #1, edit line 46 rasmol.c so that it looks like . I had successfully compiled, but binary does not work.

Good luck
