Re: [Apbs-users] libreadline.so.4 failed dependency

Hi Daniel,

   In cases like this it may just be easier to try and compile from  
source rather than use the RPM. You'll end up spending more time  
fighting the OS than the "make" system. I'm presuming you installed  
maloc from source but if not you can do the following (all of this  
can be done as a normal user if you aren't installing in a system  
directory):

Assuming:
1) Install in your home directory ($HOME/programs)
2) Download to $HOME/tmp

Obtain MALOC source:
http://scicomp.ucsd.edu/~mholst/codes/maloc/#download

1) cd $HOME/tmp
2) tar -zxvf maloc-0.1-2.tar.gz
3) cd maloc
4) ./configure --prefix=$HOME/programs
5) make
6) make install

Obtain APBS source:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=148472

1) cd $HOME/tmp
2) tar -zxvf apbs-0.4.0.tar.gz
3) cd apbs-0.4.0
4) ./configure --prefix=$HOME/programs
5) make
6) make install

  Note: The "prefix" line must be identical to the line in step 4 for  
compiling maloc

  This should produce a binary in the bin/"some directory" directory  
called apbs.

  Let me know if you need additional assistance,

Dave
