[gmx-users] How to use "gmx view" on Ubuntu?

[ZHANG Cheng]

Dear Mark,
Yes, Justin gave me a link for Gromacs-2016.3, but not the link for xorg-dev.


Do you mean, I should uninstall my current Gromacs 5.0.4, then install the Gromacs-2016.3, so that I can use the "gmx view" in the Gromacs-2016.3 on my Ubuntu?

Dear Justin,
Thank you for your link. I know how to install the Gromacs based on your link. But do you know where I can download the tar.gz file so that I can compile it and then use "gmx view"?


Thank you.

Dear Mark Abraham,
Thank you very much for your updating. 


Sorry, could you please tell me where can I download the cmake file, or which command line to use, in order to compiling & installing? 


I have tried the below and they both worked, but "gmx view …" still not work, with the same issue "Compiled without X-Windows - can not run viewer."
) sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
) sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev



(Sorry, I am not sure how to find the files to download)


Thank you.


Yours sincerely
Cheng

Dear Gromacs and Mark Abraham,
Sorry, I am not familiar with compiling issue. 


I installed xorg-dev by:
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev


Then, I type 
cmake .. -DGMX_X11=on


But I was told: 
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/lanselibai/Cheng/gromacs/... ..." does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.


What I should do next?


Thank you.


Cheng

Dear Gromacs,
I am running Gromacs 5.0.4 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.


When I run "gmx view ..." as below:


gmx view -f dppc-md.xtc -s dppc-md.tpr


I got the following:


Compiled without X-Windows - can not run viewer.





Can I ask how to use "gmx view" on Ubuntu? Thank you.


Yours sincerely
Cheng
