Compiling is not done with the jmol script. If you downloaded a binary version of Jmol, i.e. jmol-5.tar.gz or jmol-5.zip, then you do not need to compile Jmol at all... If you downloaded the source code, then you should install Ant (which is distributed with Debian 3.0), and then type: ant -Ddocbook.dir= > Finally I figured out that it complained about the shell. > I installed pdksh and changed the first line of the script from > #!/bin/ksh > to > #!/usr/bin/ksh You can better make that line: #! /bin/sh (I use Debian 3.0 too) You could also use the Debian package for Jmol 4 (I'll have not had time yet to make a package for Jmol 5)... > Now it says: > > ciobica:/usr/local/jmol-5# ./jmol > ./jmol[39]: java: not found > Exit 127 > > I browsed all the packages containing the word java and I installed > java-common, but the error remains. Java is not distributed with Debian itself, as it is not Open Source...
