GaussView - OpenSuse12.3 problem

Deutsch (German) Anwendungen
#1

Dear users and developers,

Since I have uprgraded my OpenSUSE 12.1 to 12.3, I am experiencing problems with the program GaussView (the GUI for quantum chemical calculation program gaussian), which does not run properly anymore (with 12.1 everything was just fine). This problem seems to be general as I personally have seen it on three different computers under 12.3 and have heard about similar problems from my colleagues. The problem is that one can not open more than one window with molecule structures (builder), which is really annoying if you want to compare them with each other or copy some fragments from one window to another. Attempt to open the second builder window leads to immediate crash of the program with segmentation fault (no detailed info is given). As the Windows version of GaussView is working fine, I also tried to install it under Wine, which worked, however, the wine version of GaussView has exactly the same problem: it crashed immediately after an attempt to open a second builder window. Here I have got also the detailed crash information, which i will paste below. Does anybody have an idea how one could fix it?

Crash log:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000004 in 32-bit code (0x7cc027ec).

First, in the future, please enclose long data lists with code # tags as I did in your quote. Next, I would give kernel 3.8 or 3.9 a try to see if it might help with graphic issues: openSUSE and Installing New Linux Kernel Versions - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Thank You,

#3

OK I will try that, thank you.

#4

If a new kernel helps or does not help, we would like to know that here. So keep us informed of your progress.

Thank You,

#5

I’ve installed and tried out both 3.8.11 and 3.9 on one of my machines. Unfortunately albeit their work fine, the problem with GaussView appears also on them. Maybe this segfault bug will be fixed in the next version of GaussView as Gaussian.inc supports linux as main platform for there products. Theoretically one can install also the older kernel version, for instance 3.1 used with OpenSUSE12.1?

Thank you.

#6

Did you install “libstdc++33”? Have you made a visit to their web site? GV5 Supported Platforms

Thank You,

#7

libstdc++33 does not help - the same segfault after the same time. The last version of supported platforms is 12.1, however, I think at the time I’ve installed the program on 12.1, it was 11.4 or 11.3, therefore I have not checked this info again until you raised this question. But as it looks like, 12.1 might be indeed the last OpenSUSE version working properly with GaussView5…

Best regards

#8

Hi,

I had a similar problem, which was resolved by preloading the openGL libraries provided by Gaussian. Replace $gvroot with whatever your path to Gaussview is.


setenv LD_PRELOAD $gvroot/gv/lib/MesaGL/libGL.so
$gvroot/gview

Clearly, the newer Mesa libraries expose a bug somewhere. Funny enough NVIDIA systems (with the NVIDIA drivers) appear to be immune to this…

Hope this helps,

Anthony
