Running GaussView on CIRCE

The GaussView user guide is essential to understanding the application and making the most of it. The guide and this page should help you to get started with your simulations. Please refer to the Documentation section for a link to the guide.

• Note on CIRCE: Make sure to run your jobs from your $WORK directory!

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.
