Problem running APBS?

Up to table of contents

This FAQ applies to: Any version.

Missing libraries - Linux.

Case 1- libreadline: you are getting the following error message while running APBS:
```
apbs: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
To fix this problem run ln -s /lib/libreadline.so.5.1 /lib/libreadline.so.4 as root.

Case 2 - libg2c:

apbs: error while loading shared libraries: libg2c.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution: install g77.

You can also download and build APBS from source - apbs.sourceforge.net. If you copy resulting executable to MGLToolsPckgs/binaries folder of your MGLTools installation, PMV will use that executable instead of the one shipped with MGLTools.
