Hello Nanodesigner Team,
I'm not sure if my original message got thru, sourceforge mail was
telling me it got delayed.
Anyways, here it is, forwarded.

Hi Valere,
I manged to get version 0.0.4 up and running in Suse Linux 9.1 Pro. I
haven't really looked at the source code, but everything looks good
when I run the precompiled program. I couldn't get the source code
from cvs to compile in Linux, it gives me 4 errors:
[javac] /home/fuji/nanodesigner/org.nanodesigner.gui/src/org/nanodesign=
er/gui/AbstractDesigner.java:47:

I get pretty good performance when importing the simpler molecules
like water, etc. But the more complex molecules don't run very well
on my machine. Also, I noticed some bugs:
-somtimes I can't resize the frames and get errors like:
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x11cb)!
Xlib: sequence lost (0x111cd > 0x11cf) in reply type 0x0!
-when editing preferences, I click "OK" and get similar Xlib errors
and sometimes java exceptions
I hope this info helps for future releases! :-)
Good Luck!
