2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain KMol

Download it from http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~tomi/kmol.html.

2.2 Requirements

KMol works with Qt 1.42 and KDE 1.1pre1 or later. It has only been tested under Linux so far.

2.3 Compilation and Installation

Compiling KMol is very easy. The following should do it:


% ./configure
% make
% make install

The provided (rather limited) molecular weights file, kmolweights, will be copied to your $(KDEDIR)/share/apps/kmol directory and will be used as a global default. Per-user data files are stored in each KMol user's $(HOME)/.kde/share/apps/kmol directory. You will probably want to modify the global defaults by adding more element and group definitions, and then manually copying your personal kmolweights file to $(KDEDIR)/share/apps/kmol/kmolweights.

Should you run into any problems, please report them to the author
