    If you experience compilation problems under Linux: 
    sudo echo ' deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe' >> /etc/apt/sources.list 
    apt update; apt install gcc-7
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 7
    sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
+   
+   (UPDATED) The problem is solved in the source code of LUSCUS (but not in tar.gz file). 
+  8.  Note for Windows users. Create a file luscus.bat with the following content:
+          SET LUSCUS_DIR="location of luscus"
+          luscus.exe 
+  9. Note for Mac users.   
+ Check the version of your Mac OS (Apple icon ->About This Mac).
+goto https://www.macports.org/install.php and click on your version of Mac OS to install MacPorts
+goto https://www.xquartz.org and install xQuartz
+Open terminal and run:
+sudo port install gtkglext

+Download Luscus, use terminal to

+tar -xf luscus_0.8.6.tar
+cd luscus_0.8.6/build
+cmake ..
+make
+sudo make install
+
+now you can run luscus by: xinit luscus

Luscus

Luscus is a program for graphical display and editing of molecular systems. The program allows fast and easy building and/or editing different molecular structures, up to several thousands of atoms large. Luscus can also visualize dipole moments, normal modes, molecular orbitals, electron densities and electrostatic potentials. In addition, simple geometrical objects can be rendered in order to point out a geometrical feature or a physical quantity. The program is developed as a graphical interface for MOLCAS program package, however it's adaptive nature makes possible using luscus with other computational program packages and chemical formats. All files are opened with simple plug-ins which makes easy to implement a new file format in luscus. The easiness of editing molecular geometries makes luscus suitable in teaching students chemical concepts and molecular modelling.
