KryoMol project is a KDE based program for visualization and analysis of several chemistry related files. Currently KryoMol can cope with:

- Quantum Chemical Computation logs from Gaussian98/03, GAMESS, ACESII (german version), and NwChem
- Molecular Mechanis Logs: Tinker, Macromodel
- Other formats as xyz or mol
- 1D NMR spectra and JCAMP-DX spectra

Installation:

KryoMol is a autoconf/automake based program and installs itself with the common configure/make/make install procedure.

Installation as root

$ ./configure
$ make
$su
$make install

and now log out and log in ( I strongly recommend this to properly load all new libraries and services).

Installation as user

If you dont have root privileges and want to try KryoMol you must install it in a directory with write permissions, therefore you must use the prefix switch in configure. For instance if you want to install under your personal kde tree $./configure --prefix=/home/user/.kde

$make
$make install
log out and log in

Installation as user in a new kde tree

If you want to install in a compleptly new KDE tree, for instance /home/user/mykde you must follow the above procedure:

$./configure --prefix=/home/armando/mykde && make && make install

and now add this to your .bash_profile:

MYKDE=/home/armando/mykde
export KDEDIRS=$MYKDE:$KDEDIRS
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MYKDE/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$MYKDE/bin:$PATH

What's New in This Release:
Gamess frequency jobs support
