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.
