Re: MODELLER (Win XP) OK



Dear Bozidar ,Mensur,Modellers
Thanks for your help. The main problem was the unzipping of the file. When I used winzip it worked fine to give the file structure. Then combining Mensurs tips with the help file I could set up the system. With the In the Windows XP you can set variables on the command line and the key with a special environment variable window under system-advanced. I ran the tutorial example as instructed and a coordinate file was generated which I could view with the free Sw.PDB Viewer (http://www.expasy.org/spdbv/). Could be interesting for some you church-mice modellers (like me) to know this.
I am now hopefully ready to go into deeper waters (than you can with Sw.PDBv).
                    many thanks
                        Simon Gough

Hi,

I apologize for the confusion. MODELLER for Win doesn't use installation
script. Instructions how to install it are given in the readme file that you
will find in the root directory.

I am also enclosing recent post from the list .

Best,
Bozidar

Hi,

I really haven't tried installing anything under XP, but this procedure
worked for Win95/98/ME. Instead of having 'modenv.bat' (usually in
$SOMETHING\MOD6V2\BIN directory) called from the autoexec.bat (which I
think works on Win98), put all the lines from modenv.bat directly into
autoexec.bat - something like this:

set MODINSTALL6v2=$SOMETHING\MOD6V2
set KEY_MODELLER6v2="ASK_FOR_THE_KEY"
set LIBS_LIB6v2=%MODINSTALL6v2%\modlib\libs.lib
set EXECUTABLE_TYPE6v2=i386-windf
set PATH=%MODINSTALL6v2%\bin;%PATH%

Does XP even have autoexec.bat? If not, there must be some system file
where startup variables can be defined. After that, the only thing needed
in mod.bat file is something like this:

@echo off
%MODINSTALL6v2%\bin\modeller6v2 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 > %1.log

Needles to say, mod.bat should be in the directory that is included in
the PATH.

Cheers,

Mensur

PS It may be that your archive was unpacked without preserving the
directory structure, which would explain the non-existing 'bin' directory.
