Hi,

I try to run Gaussview on an amd64 machine. Since Gaussview is a 32-bit pre-compiled programm (which acts as an GUI for Gaussian), I installed the emul libs. When I run Gaussview, the window is broken. It does not end, provides no menu and when you move it, you get artefacts from your background. I also get this message, when I close the window:

Code: Select all

X Error of failed request:  BadGC (invalid GC parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  60 (X_FreeGC)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x1c0059c
  Serial number of failed request:  24738
  Current serial number in output stream:  24755

Does anyone have some ideas, what could be wrong?

Thanks
Marc

OK, this problem is solved. I was running gnome-light. After installing kdebase-startkde something was installed, which solved my problem (I do not know what). Gaussview is now running under kde and gnome.

Still, I would be interested in what solved my problem. So if someone knows, what could have been the problem, feel free to post it here.

Greetings,
Marc
