Methods, Problems and Solutions

Wine for Crystallography - Running Crystallographic Windows programs under Linux using the Wine Emulator

Running ESPOIR for Windows under Wine/Linux

(Note: Windows programs under wine may not be 100% functional but may give you the functionality you need to get the job done)

File name Case problems

Note: Many problems running Windows programs on Wine can be solved just by putting the file in the correct case (lower case usually).

If using the chcase perl script for UNIX, just go to the offending directory and run the following command to get all the files (in this example) into lower case:

chcase -r -d '*' (goes through subdirectories)

chcase -d '*.*' (just files with the *.* format in the present working directory)


ESPOIR

As far as can be told, ESPOIR for Windows works perfectly under Wine, though it has not been stress tested to much of a degree.

Download the ESPOIR ZIP file via the ESPOIR Monte Carlo Structure solution from powder diffraction by Armel Le Bail tutorials page

Extract ESPOIR using the command: unzip espoir3.zip

Now run espoir.exe (make the exe's lower case if not already) using the command:

wine espoir

You can also tell Wine to emulate a certain version of Windows in case this is what the program wants.

wine -winver win95 espoir


Things are happy: on prompting by ESPOIR, we have selected a file and ESPOIR is now trying to solve the structure (terminal box highlighted in green).
