Gaussian 09 Linux Ubuntu Software Please Email

If you are a member of the Department of Chemistry and your group would like to get access to the Linux software please email supportch.cam.ac.uk for the price, which is per-group and covers as many machines as you want provided they are physically located at the University.

This licence was not arranged by the Department of Chemistry.

The information is posted here in the hope that it helps would-be users of Gaussian in the University.

Media to go with this licence have to be purchased directly from Gaussian Inc.

Within the Department of Chemistry Gaussian 03 is installed on all managed Linux workstations and can be used by anyone in the department.

Within the Department of Chemistry this is available to groups who helped fund it.

For use within the department of Chemistry please see Gaussview.

The default module should always work, but for some computers one of the others may be faster.

Loading the gaussian module will also make gaussview available in your environment.

If a new research group contributes to the cost of media, add their -users group to the gaussian09 group in AD.

It is necessary to have certain environment variables set for Gaussian to run (and on my system they didnt quite match the ones in the install instructions).

The gaussian modulefile is mildly interesting in that it works out the correct per-user scratch directory.

It also warns the user if they are not in the Unix group gaussian09, as they will not be able to use the software.

Or, you can search the site using the box at the top of the page, or by clicking here.
