BOSS in 32 bit #3

Closed punkpony closed 2 years ago

punkpony commented 2 years ago

There are a lot of issues with using ligpargen, as I understand it is related to BOSS coming as a 32 bit compiled code. i.e. it will NOT run on a Mac (thanks for the recent 64 bit upgrade!) or any Linux that is 64 bit.

PS - to check what is your machine use uname -a

if you run BOSS directy, you will see errors like:

./boss/autozmat -x -i boss -o pdb -p tmppar
./boss/autozmat: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

if you run ligpargen, you will get misguiding errors like: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'plt.pdb' or ERROR! Open Babel is not installed on your work station.

as mentioned in issue #1

I guess it all just boils to getting BOSS for 64 bit.

@Isra3l also tagging @leelasd as another ligpargen guru :) Is it possible to get BOSS as 64 bit or non-compiled?

Thank you!

Hey Valentina!

I have just fixed the open babel NOT installed error.

Sadly, BOSS source code and BOSS64 are not available but you can run any 32 bits program like BOSS in a 64 bits Linux by installing a few libraries. I am not sure if it is possible for Windows(WSL) or Mac.

For ubuntu check this link ---> https://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit

I have been using many different Linux 64 bits distributions and I never had any problem with 32 bits executables.

My machine --->

Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-96-generic Architecture: x86-64

The missing 'plt.pdb' file is an error related to BOSS. Adding these missing 32 bits libraries you should be able to run BOSS and fix this issue.

I hope it helps,

Israel
