But, it doesn't appear to have any of the packages mentioned above. Here is the description:
[...] Xymtex is unfortunately undistributable [0], but it's really cool. Its web page is here: http://imt.chem.kit.ac.jp/fujita/fujitas3/xymtex/indexe.html [0] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/12/msg00029.html If you insist on a .deb for it, I wrote an installer package (really more of a framework) that will build one on your machine. See http://people.debian.org/~kmccarty/cernlib/nonfree.html#mc (The motivation was that I needed organic structures in my Ph.D thesis.) The page is mainly about the undistributable Cernlib Monte Carlo libraries, but read through to the bottom of that section for Xymtex. You'll only need the xymtex-installer-data and ancis unofficial packages and their dependencies, not montecarlo-installer-data. Take note that the generated xymtex .deb has its own set of deps and recommends that you'll need to install before dpkg -i'ing it. best regards, -- Kevin B.
