wien2k installation

tar -xvf WIEN2k_11.tar (skip this if you downloaded files separately)
gunzip *.gz
chmod +x ./expand_lapw
./expand_lapw

This will expand all files and copies various shell-scripts. In $WIENROOT/SRC you find the postscript version of the usersguide (160 pages). Proceed with reading chapter "Installation". You can then configure and compile WIEN using:

./siteconfig_lapw

After successfull installation, every user should run:

./userconfig_lapw

catalyst study by using DFT calculations

The first-principles calculations can be used to study the catalyst. The quantities needed are the total energy and vibrational frequencies of the reaction species on the catalyst surfaces.

sftp, sshfs fail while ssh works well

sftp and sshfs may fail when trying to connect the remote server if there are shell initialization (.profile, .bashrc, .cshrc, etc) which produces output for non-interactive sessions. This can be verified by entering

ssh host /usr/bin/true

On my machine, I got the following output:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Undefined variable.
/usr/bin/true: Command not found.

After commenting out the defination of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the ~/.cshrc on host, everything is working well.

pymol 安装

编译的时候遇到找不到ce_types.h的错误：
cp modules\cealign\src\ce_types.h to layer4\ce_types.h

./configure
make
python setup.py install
python setup2.py install
sudo cp pymol /usr/bin/.

Screen flicker after updating to ubuntu 10.04

The way to fix this problem.

dynamical compilation of lapack

add -fPIC to compile option

cp INSTALL/slamch.o and INSTALL/dlamch.o into SRC directory

In the folder of SRC, type

cc -shared -Wl,-soname,liblapack.so -o liblapack.so *.o

In the folder of BLAS/SRC, type

cc -shared -Wl,-soname,libblas.so -o libblas.so *.o

installation of xmgrace on Slackware 13.1

I am installing grace-5.1.9 with t1lib-5.1.2 installed.

Problems:

t1fonts.c:(.text+0x336b): undefined reference to `T1_Get_no_fonts'
fontwin.c:(.text+0x141): undefined reference to `CheckForFontID'

Solutions:

change T1_Get_no_fonts in src/t1fonts.c to T1_GetNoFonts
change CheckForFontID in src/fontwin.c to T1_CheckForFontID
