Hi I tried to install Modeller & MDT. But I faced some issues: As we dont have root access to the server, we cant install using *rpm* packages on that Linux server. So instead I tried to install Modeller from source which works fine at our RedHat linux server now. But then I tries to install MDT in the same way, but it depends on many other dependent libraries. I installed few of them , but couldn't manage to install rest of them due to privilege issue, so MDT can't be installed. In salilab.org, its only discussed to install MDT for linux platform, not windows. I also tried to figure out how it can be done on Windows as we have admin privilege, but no help out there for that and it seems to me that on windows MDT is already installed with Modeller as I did it from .exe but while running MDT script I got import error for library MDT.
Any comments, suggestion will be highly appreciated for linux without root access or windows with admin privilege.

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.

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 ...

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]$
