Running GaussView on CIRCE
Modules
GaussView requires the following module files to run:
apps/gaussian/09b01_amd64
apps/gaussian/gaussview-5.0
See Modules for more information.
Starting the Appliction
GaussView is quite easy to execute on Circe:
Before you login to CIRCE
, you need to make sure you have X11 Forwarding enabled. If you’re logging in from a UNIX/Linux system, you will need to do the following:
ssh -Y user@circe.rc.usf.edu
Simply type gview
at the command prompt AFTER loading the proper module (see above) in your terminal window. If you have properly configured an X11 session, you should see the full GaussView interface.
For Windows, Mac, and Linux users, GaussView can also be launched through the CIRCE Desktop Environment by selecting the GaussView launcher in the Applications menu. For more information about the CIRCE Desktop Environment, please see our CIRCE Desktop Environment documentation.
Caveats
GaussView expects to be aware of the Gaussian installation in order to invoke it from the GUI. Therefore you must load the 09b01 module first. When starting gview, error messages may appear concerning this.
