An rpm for i386 Centos 5 has been uploaded using the old Olex2 release and version information. This is to address an issue FH was having. The .debroglie has been dropped off the rpm in-line with fedora, centos, and rpmfusion standards. Don’t be scared!

Olex2 is in a state of flux regarding many things, as such consider the name and versioning issues we are currently experiencing a transient bump in the grand scheme of things. Especially regarding the olex2-gui.

FH I hope this sorts you out.

I updated olex2 for fedora 9 and 10. Centos will have to wait. I need to tweak the spec in order to use python2.5-config instead of python-config.

You’ll see that the files have .debroglie.debroglie in their name, it’s not normal but I don’t want to build them again. It shouldn’t cause any problem.

Olex2 has now got a version – 1.0 and has been updated. This version resolves a lot of the annoying little issues.

The update is broken, the new rpm as a dependency problem.

Hmmmmmmm, after reading the tag below this is slightly worrying I’ve just updated olex2 can a centos user check if the update is work?

Assuming it is there is now olex2 and a new platon for you to play with. If it isn’t then let me know and I can drop the centos update off the server.

There is a bug in the python2.5 rpm for centos. python-config is broken. This means you can’t compile olex2 or anythinh using python-config on centos but the rpm of olex2 is working .

I am trying to find the reason of this.

Thanks to Fred Hollander who has tracked, sadly via trial and error, some missing dependencies for the Centos install. I’ve corrected these, put in the latest SVN and a new GUI snapshot.

Enjoy

Consequently, python2.5 and python2.5-imaging have been updated as well to correct some bugs also revealed by Fred.

Pascal, hijacking John’s post

Platon has been updated to the latest source release and we’ve added tonto-chem to the testing repositories for all live distributions.

If you want to know more about tonto-chem follow this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tonto-chem

Don’t forget to leave comments if your struggling with tonto-chem on the forum and any rpm issues via the comment section below.

Olex2 “engine” has been updated for all distros.

The Olex2 GUI rpm will be updated in the next few days or so.

The Olex2 authors are planning on moving the code to Python 2.6. If they do this support will freeze at this current release as Python 2.5.x is only supported by Fedora 9 and 10 and Centos 5 (thanks to Pascal’s compat install).

I have updated superflip edma and fox.

I got some trouble for centos, so, some of them are missing in the centos repository.

Openopt will arrive shortly. http://openopt.org/

If you find any problem, don’t hesitate to contact me.

There is a nice symmetry to this release of platon. I’ve added a nice new journal reference to it as well:

Structure validation in chemical crystallography, A. L. Spek Acta Cryst. (2009). D65, 148-155

Enjoy folks.
