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

[Frank Zhou]

Hello Cheng, 

You can firstly install libX11-devel by yourself:
# sudo apt-get install libx11-dev (in CentOS: sudo yum install
libX11-devel)


Then "cd build" and run:
# cmake .. -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON
-DGMX_X11=on


Thanks,
Frank
