Re: GU: Compiling GAMESS in Linux/ELF

["Stephen P. Molnar" <smolnar@postbox.acs.ohio-state.edu>]

Hello back,

I appreciate your reply.  Actually, I think that I was panacking when I
posted that message.  T compiled and linked the code very early this morning
without any problems, other that bunches of error messages about changing
from single to double precision, or something like that.  My problem was,
very simply that I have recently changed Linux distributions from Slackware
to RedHat and was held up by RedHat's not putting a '.' in the default path
statement.  Once I edited compall to change the comp to ./comp all of the
compile problems were solved.

My current major task is trying to figure out how to get the script to run
the test computations.

As you may have deduced, I am neither a hardware nor a OS type person.  My
interest in Linux is mainly to have MOPAC7 and GAMESS at my disposal for use
in my computational chemistry research.  Currently, I'm interested in
molecular transforms, similiarity indices and QSAR.

There is also a chap in Hungary who has compiled MOPAC7 and is working on
GAMESS in Linux.

Let's keep in touch.

                Steve
