I forgot to focus that the problem of installing autodocktools on amd64 lenny seems to be restricted to dependency problems for
mgltools-dejavu whereby mgltools-molkit is not installed. Perhaps someone knows how to deal with the problem of mgltools-dejavu. fp ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Francesco Pietra <[email protected]> Date: Wed, May 13, 2009 at 1:47 AM Subject: about autodocktools package To: debian-science <[email protected]>, amd64 Debian <[email protected]> Hi: Package "autodocktools" for amd6a is only available for sid. As an aid to autodock (which is on the amd64 lenny repositories) I tried to install it by downloading packages for sid and using dpkg. From dependency to dependency I met obstacles for package mgtools-molkit, whick requires *.pybabel, *.dejavu, *.bhtree, *.sff (* = mgltools). Downloading these, dpkg found unsurmountable dependency problems. Should anyone have succeeded with lenny, please help. People doing computational chemistry can't keep updated with the latest amd64 because fundamental, non-graphical, number-crunching parallelized codes would not run. Even if I tried the installation of autodocktools on a secondary amd 64 machines where graphics is available, also the "fundamental" parallelized codes are installed to carry out preliminary setting of files for the main machine. So, we are left without the gui for autodock. This is a recurrent problem. I believe that for science it would be better to provide quasi-static compilations (as some developers do, see for example Chimera as one of the most successful examples.) Unless help comes, I am in the situation of a couple of years ago, when I was at etch and the above stuff was for lenny and i had to renounce to autodock. Now, I I have again to renounce to autodock. regards francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
