JChem 5.3.3 installation problem

I thought the -c option was supposed to allow the installer to work in console mode?

bob@epoch:aceorg$ sh -c ./jchem-5_3_3-linux.sh

Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server.

If you have access there is probably an X library missing.

*******************************************************************

You can also run this application in console mode without

access to an X server by passing the argument -c

Hello,

We have a long weekend due to our national holiday here, but my colleagues will answer you soon.

Regards,
Erika.

I could not reproduce the problem.

Console mode installation of JChem has been completed for me without any error message.

I have tested it on a Debian machine without gui.

sh ./jchem-5_3_3-linux.sh -c

Can you give more details about the software environment where this problem is occured?

Anyway, giving "-c" option before the script name is not good. The "-c" option is the parameter of the installer script (not the shell).

That was the problem.  I misplaced the -c.  It installs now.  Thanks.

When you give your installation instructions, you might choose to be more explicit about the commands that the users should enter.

Thanks for the feadback. We will improve the installation instruction document.
