Hello Anna-- I am sorry you had difficulty installing Xplor-NIH. > > I tried to install xplor-nih (xplor-nih-2.26-Darwin8_x86.tar.gz) and > xlor-nih-database (xplor-nih-2.26.tar.gz), however when I downloaded and > unzipped both they both contained folders with the same name > "xplor-nih-2.26"! It was not clear what to do next even after > thorough consultation with computer tech support in our university and it > seems that the same file package was by mistake zipped and uploaded as these > two packages (xplor-nih-2.26-Darwin8_x86.tar.gz and xplor-nih-2.26.tar.gz). > Both the -Darwin and the -db tar archives do, in fact, unpack into the same directory. This is intentional. Part of the confusion may be that, on the Mac, the graphical file manager creates separate directories with different names, even though they should be the same. The solution is to unpack the .tar.gz files yourself, as in the instructions. > A) Please tell me if there is any error in uploading correct files under > correct name on xplor releases page. I was following directions > http://nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/INSTALL.txt I don't believe there is an error in those instructions. > > after I downloaded both Xplor mac specific version and Xplor database > (compatible with any platform) I was not able to install since it seemed > that there was the same file package but compressed with different names > "xplor-nih-2.26-Darwin8_x86.tar.gz" and "xplor-nih-2.26.tar.gz". I still > tried to proceed with directions posted > http://nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/INSTALL.txt, but got the following > errors: > > 1.After unpacking both packages I was not able to generate xplor command, > ./configure didn't give any error messages but seemed to do nothing as > well. ./configure should produce no output. However, it creates a number of files in the bin subdirectory. You can test your Xplor-NIH install using bin/testDist. If you supply the -symlinks <path> option, symlinks to the main xplor script and a number of helpers will be created in the directory referred to by <path>. > 2. running testDisp.inp file also gave lots of errors and was not able to > open any folder and /or run any command it is supposed to run > I am interested in fixing any errors. Please tell me what those errors were. Particularly on the Mac, users are confused by the install instructions. I am interested in streamlining the process and welcome suggestions. best regards-- Charles -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.9 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iEYEARECAAYFAkyhQj0ACgkQPK2zrJwS/lbscACfct3osGp3PxLGVRZBPdQXlqkJ u6QAmQF48/nDgxmxZ50gTcLFF2YxZ4eM =8GWg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
