The statement that garlic is the most portable molecular viewer/editor
in unix world might look quite bold at the first sight, but it is based on
serious arguments. Garlic requires only three libraries to run: the standard C
library (libc), the standard math library (libm), and the standard X11
library (libX11). These libraries are available on every serious unix
or unix compatible system. All other programs, (except one:
<a href="http://www.nibsc.ac.uk/mdxvu/manual.htm">
mdxvu
</a>
) require
some additional binary libraries.
<br><br>
Compiling and/or installing a program which requires numerous libraries may
turn into nightmare. Not only that all these libraries must be present on
your system: a version number is important too! And if you manage to compile
and/or install the program, it may behave strange when you try to use it:
there is a chance that one or more libraries were not tested enough before
shipping, causing core dumps and other runtime problems.
<br><br>
Check

the list

of freely available molecular visualization programs for unix and unix clones.
This page lists also the libraries required to run each of these programs.
