Hi Thomas,

Your post below was very helpful to those of us that are not very
command prompt savy. Thanks for that. My question is where does
the file go after you convert it to .ucsf format? It is not in the
original directory of the source file and it is not in the lib file
in sparky, Im not sure where else to look...

Also is it necessary to have the phasefile in the varian
conversion? Im trying to convert from vnmr to ucsf and and I do
not have the phasefile in the .fid folder for the data Im trying to
convert.

Thanks,

Hi Claudia,

I suspect that adding

http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/goddard/temp/libstdc++.so.5

to your Sparky distribution in directory

sparky/lib

will allow Sparky to run on your Linux system. I think the

trouble is

that your new Linux does not have this older version of the

standard C++

library.

On Windows you have to run pipe2ucsf from a Command Prompt

window. You

cannot just double click on it since it requires command line

arguments.

It does not have a graphical user interface. To get a Command

Prompt window

on Windows XP go to Start / All Programs / Accessories / Command

Prompt.

You then would use a command like:

C:Progra~1sparkybinpipe2ucsf myfile.pipe myfile.ucsf

assuming you have Sparky installed in C:Program Filessparky.

Subject: sparky on LINUX

Hello there,

after being a happy Sparky user under windows for years (and

happily

spreading its use in the course of this activity), I have just
installed sparky including its conversion routines onto a freshly
installed LINUX box. It has the correct library files installed

looked for the ones that are described in the manual, version 6
ones, and they are there), but when I try to start anything, be

sparky or eg pipe2ucsf, it tells me error while loading shared
libraries: libstdc++.so.5: Cannot open...no such file or

directory.

And of course there is indeed no such file, as we have version 6

for

all these C-related files. I dont know which part of the

programs

is looking for these libraries, and dont know how to find out,

and

dont know how to persuade the program to go looking for the

proper

files. In desperation I have tried to cheat and just renamed the
version 6 file to the version 5 file, but that conceivably did

not

get me much further.

I equally dont seem to be able to get the pip2ucsf command to

work

under windows (XP). Whatever I try, all that ever happens is a
brief flash of a black command window, and no new files are
generated. And of course widows doesnt even start to tell me

what

does not work, and it is impossible to see what it actually tries
to do.

In either case, I cant find anything on the web or on mailing
lists. What I really need to do desperately is actually just the
conversion - no matter under which operating system (I can

happily

continue to use sparky under windows for the time being - but I

need

some data to look at, and to my dismay we have recently started

work on Varian machines, and I just cant get the data into a
Sparky-readable format.).

Have you come across this problem before ?

best wishes,

Claudia
