General Linux

To run this software interactively in a Linux environment run the commands:

  ssh -X username@itasca.msi.umn.edu
  module load gaussian

Next, launch the executable.

gv

The GaussView graphical interface window will be piped to your local desktop.

Troubleshooting

Below are a list of common fixes to get GaussView running:

If your local machine is a Mac running X11, quit and restart X11.

For Macs, try using XQuartz 2.7.7

Make sure you are using the "-Y" or "-X" flag when you ssh to a machine at MSI

Some rendering problems (e.g. molecular orbitals) can be resolved by typing the following in the Linux command line before running Gauss View.

export USE_MESAGL=1

For Xming users: GaussView will not load; Xming-mesa is required.
