Re: [MDT-users] Fwd: help regarding installation of MDT

["Ahmed, Sharif (MU-Student)" <>]

Hi
Thanks for your quick response. Yes, I tried to install it from tar.gz 
Please check the below errors what I got, though I installed glib:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[group3@daisy mdt-5.2]$ pwd
/exports/store2/group3/project1/lib/mdt-5.2
[group3@daisy mdt-5.2]$ 
[group3@daisy mdt-5.2]$ scons test
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Determining sizeof(void *)... 8
Checking whether compiler supports -fvisibility...yes
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found
Checking for GLib2 using pkg-config...(cached) failed: 'pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0' exited 1
GLib2 and pkg-config are required to install this software.
Install the glib2-devel and pkg-config (or similar) packages,
or download the GLib2 sourcecode from www.gtk.org
[group3@daisy mdt-5.2]$

Thanks
Sharif

I think here you mean you used the .tar.gz installer. Modeller source code isn't available.

MDT only requires Modeller, SWIG, glib and HDF5:
http://salilab.org/mdt/5.2/doc/usage.html#compilation-from-source-code

All of these can be installed as a non-root user (and almost all RedHat installs come with glib already). What problems did you run into?

We don't support MDT for Windows. It probably works (we definitely know that it compiles with MSVC++ 2010 Express) but you may have to tweak things to make it work with your own setup.

No, MDT is not included with Modeller, on any platform.
