LibraryMCS (JChem 3.2.4)

Hello,





I installed the latest version of JChem (3.2.4). All executables are running (standardizer, reactor...) except LibraryMCS.exe. What could be the reason?


Thank you in advance.





Best regards,


Isi

Hi Isi,





apologies for the long delay... We tried to reproduce the problem you encountered and mentioned in your post, but we did not manage. I mean, we did not find anything wrong, libmcs did work in the recent JChem release.





I reckon you are using Windows. Did you find the icon that corresponds to LibraryMCS on your desktop? Is that icon that is not working?





You may try to launch the libmcs.bat file at an MSDOS command prompt, that should also work.

Hi Miklos,





I tried as you suggested to execute the libmcs.bat, but I got the following error:

Code:

C:\Program Files\ChemAxon\JChem\bin>libmcs.bat Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Color parameter outside of expected range: Blu e         at java.awt.Color.testColorValueRange(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.Color.<init>(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.Color.<init>(Unknown Source)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.JDTSlider.getModifiedColor(JDTSlider.java:97)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.JDTSlider.init(JDTSlider.java:74)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.JDTSlider.<init>(JDTSlider.java:62)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.component.DendogramViewer$SliderHandler.<init>(DendogramViewer.java:604)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.component.DendogramViewer.<init>(DendogramViewer.java:95)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.component.ClusterViewer.init(ClusterViewer.java:72)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.component.ClusterViewer.<init>(ClusterViewer.java:42)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.JKlustor.init(JKlustor.java:273)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.JKlustor.<init>(JKlustor.java:76)         at chemaxon.clustering.gui.JKlustor$3.run(JKlustor.java:315)         at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierarchy(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)         at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)

It seems to be a java error...


Thank you in advance for your help.

Isi, this is rather nasty! We will investigate and fix it asap. In the meantime, I suggest to use the java webstart version at the libmcs demo pages: http://www.chemaxon.com/shared/libMCS.


It is full featured and there is no hassle with installing it locally.





Best regards,


Miklos

The problem you experienced has been fixed and is available as Java WebStart application on the LibraryMCs demo page: http://www.chemaxon.com/shared/libMCS/.


The next JChem minor release will fix this bug in the JChem package.

Thank you Miklos,
