The Dockprep and WriteMol2 files worked like a charm. Could anyone give me any pointers on installing DMS? I have spent the better part of a day following the instructions on the web site and I can't get the damn thing to work. I've gotten this far: 2187 atoms usr/local/lib/dms/radii: no such file or directory Thanks again! "Sometimes, life hits you in the head with a brick."

Hi Steve, It looks like you set the LIBDIR variable in your GNUmakefile to "usr/local/lib" instead of "/usr/local/lib". With the former setting, dms will only work if you run it from the same directory where you compiled it -- probably not what you want. You should also make sure that LIBDIR is set to a location writable by you, or change the permissions on the LIBDIR location so that it is writable by you. --Eric On Feb 5, 2006, at 3:02 PM, Steven Finckbeiner wrote:

But there really is no "radii" directory. There is a radii.proto file in my dms directory. After a google search I found out that's a Windows Amaya file. Do I need to decompress this some kind of way? "Sometimes, life hits you in the head with a brick."

Did you run "make install" when you built DMS? That's the step that copies executables and data files to the installation directory. (I think that's where it copies radii.proto and renames it radii.) Conrad On Feb 6, 2006, at 6:17 AM, Steven Finckbeiner wrote:

I ran "make install." This is what I think is happening: Everything except maninstall is working. Since it can't get past that step, radii.proto will not be installed and the makefile lines that say "clean" and "spotless" won't run. Is there a way to install this without the maninstall part? Maybe it's because I'm on Cygwin and the file structure is weird. Maybe it's that I don't know what I'm doing inside any Unix-like interface. I'll accept that, but there has got to be a better way to get DMS out. I've been going through the Dock-fan archives and DMS installation seems to be a persistent problem. I've been trying to get this thing to install since Friday. Meanwhile I've got two PhD's wondering when my fancy idea of using a free program off the internet to predict receptor binding is going to work. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but my patience and my nerves are frazzled. Conrad Huang <conrad@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote: Did you run "make install" when you built DMS?

I've had to answer some questions on DMS installation, but the usual problem is not running "make install". Can you tell me how "make maninstall" fails? To get around the problem, you can just run "make afterinstall" to get it to copy radii. Conrad
