I tried again, after months have elapsed, chemical drawing packages available for debian i386 etch/GNOME 2.14.3:
---chemtool 1.6.9-1 ---xdrawchem 1.9.9-3 ---gchempaint 0.6.6 with installed ---openbabel 2.0.2-1 My focus was to get exchange of files with chemdraw, which are the file types requested by most editors. I was able to write them with xdrawchem (much improved as a package since the last time I tried it), though reading of chemdraw files generated by chemdraw (I requested them from colleagues who use Windows OS and chemdraw) did not work well. Atom symbols came out of place. No chance with the other packages (I appreciated the speed and simplicity of gchempaint because I am not asking to these type of packages anything else than a good presentation of drawings, while I am uninterested in [illusory] simulation of spectra and things like that). I understand it is a problem of openbabel (if not a problem of misuse). If am not mistakenly using the packages, or have not found the right way to fulfill editor's requests, please help. For the time being I continue with an application under wine, looking for the time when a linux-native application will be fully working in regard to the editors.
