Xmgrace

A 2D-Plot-Program for Visualisation of Scientific Data. Grace is a WYSIWYG 2D plotting tool for the X Window System and M.tif. Grace is a descendant of ACE/gr, also known as Xmgr. It knows a lot of different graph types and supports a lot of output formats. For examples, see /usr/lib/xmgrace/examples. Version 5.1.25; Size 1.76 MB. Homeworld remastered collection 2.1. Help needed installing Grace (xmgrace) on Linux machine I want to install grace (plotting package; formerly called 'xmgr'; also called xmgrace) on a standard PC running Red Hat Linux. I was hoping to find someprecompiled executables, but I only found the complete source files with Makefiles, '.rpm' files, and '.so' files, but I am not.

How to Install the Compiled Package

For newer versions of xcrysden, the installation of compiledpackage is fairly simple:
  • unpack the xc-version.tar.gzpackage file as:
    tar zxvfxc-version.tar.gz
    or:
    gunzip -c xc-version.tar.gz tar xvf -
  • cd into the so-created directory (i.e., cdxcrysden-version/)

  • and try: ./xcrysden

If this works then add the root directory of just installedxcrysden package (i.e.,/full/path/to/xcrysden-version) to yourPATH.

The use of XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR environmental variableis optional for newer versions. Optionally also theXCRYSDEN_SCRATCH environmental variable can bedefined. It is the place where XCrySDen writes scratch (temporary)files. If this variable is not defined then either the value ofTMPDIR (or TMP) environmental variable(if defined) or the /tmp will be used as theXCrySDen's scratcharea.

BEWARE: If an older XCrySDen version is already installedthen you need to manually unset (or update) theXCRYSDEN_TOPDIR variable definition in your profile!!!

How to Install the Source Package

Software requirements: The compilation of XCrySDen requires C and Fortrancompilers and the following libraries (development version):Tcl/Tk, Togl, OpenGL (i.e. Mesa), BWidget, FFTW3, X11 libraries,and few other system libraries.

To aid at easier compilation, these libraries will beautomatically downloaded from the web if so instructed (see below).Alternatively, these can be download from:

  • Tcl/Tk: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/
  • Mesa: ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/
  • Togl: https://sourceforge.net/projects/togl/files/Togl/2.0/
  • FFTW: http://www.fftw.org/download.html
  • BWidget: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcllib/files/BWidget/

NOTICE: during the compilation the required BWidgetpackage (small size) will be always automatically donwloaded from:http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcllib/files/BWidget/

To compile the source package the file Make.sys shouldbe present in the package root directory. Templates can be find in./system/ subdirectory. Copy an appropriate templatefile:

and edit the

Make.sys
to suit your needs.

If you want the compilation to automatically download andcompile the external library sources (Tcl/Tk, Mesa, Togl, FFTW)define COMPILE_ALL = yes (seesystem/Make.sys-semishared for more details).

Now edit the file Make.sys to suit your needs. Then if you areimpatient simply try:

If everything went well and compilation was fully successful,you have a usable xcrysden. Try:

If it works, that's it!

To make xcrysden loadable from a terminal, you can either createan alias (e.g. aliasxcrysden=$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/xcrysden), add$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR to your PATH, or make asymbolic link so that xcrysden will be on your PATH(e.g. ln -s $XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/xcrysden /opt/bin), where$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR is the root directory of xcrysden.

Trouble Shooting

If the installation of sources has failed for some reason thenread the printed error message. Also read carefully theinstructions inside the Make.sys and edit the fileaccording to your needs.

The most often cause of failure is that either some header fileswere not found or that there are some missing references, whichmeans that the code will have to be linked against additionallibraries.

If the failure appeared in compilation of external library, thentry to compile this library manually, i.e., do cdexternal/src/LIB, where LIB is the corresponding librarydirectory, and read the installation instructions therein.
