Hi,
I believe I am having the same problem. While I could get avogadro working
nicely on my mac, an ubuntu 12.04 installation either from the ubuntu-repo or
compiling from source-code from https://github.com/dlonie/avogadro (needed for
installing xtalopt. I followed the installation directions in
http://xtalopt.openmolecules.net/wiki/index.fcgi/wiki/Installation and all
dependencies were installed using 'sudo apt-get') without any errors gives me
an executable which prints the following lines when run, and doesn't pop-up a
GUI window. I do see a avogadro thumbnail on the launcher in ubuntu, but
clicking it doesn't produce a GUI window. The execution hangs in the terminal
after printing the lines below. Same happens when run as root except for a few
less errors printed to terminal.
I have nvidia video card, and I have updated all drivers as well as programs
installed in the computer using apt-get upgrade.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, I see that some folks have
successfully installed in ubuntu, can they say if they did that in v12.04 and
if their video card is nvidia? For Qt I installed version 4 using apt-get
install qt4* .Is there anyone with a successful recent ubuntu installation
who can post the installation 'recipe' ? (again, I used the one from here
http://xtalopt.openmolecules.net/wiki/index.fcgi/wiki/Installation and didn't
get any errors during compilation/installation.) .
Thank you for your suggestions.
