    Instaling software (DWSIM or GHEMICAL on CAELINUX) it says
    installing then asks to install again

    with DWSIM it had worked before, only it had dependencies

    How old is your fixed disk?
    Or are you just trolling again as you did for months in comp.os.Linux.misc?

    /usr/local/bin/dwsim-classic # Try an absolute path and attempt to run it.

    The library it uses for support is in

    /usr/local/lib/dwsim 790,908,921 bytes

    The WINE package is used if running a specially packaged
    Windows version under the WINE environment. There is a
    README file in the .7z package.

    **********************************************************

    ghemical - when software is this old, it becomes a challenge
    for anyone (other than the developer) to get it running.

    http://bioinformatics.org/ghemical/ghemical/index.html

    "The current stable version 2.00 was released 2006-04-xx.
    It is tested to work best with the following other packages/programs:

    libghemical-2.00
    OpenBabel-2.0.0 (optional)
    glib-2.6.0
    gtk+-2.4.0
    gtkglext-1.0.5
    libglade-2.4.0
    "

    The problem is, the current release is 3.0 and the library set
    for this source package is not stated. Sure, it has ./configure
    to help you build the package, and some of those work very well,
    other ./configure base packages are not helpful enough to actually
    successfully build software. A good "configure" requires craftsmanship.

    http://bioinformatics.org/ghemical/download/release20111012/

    To do that manually and align it, that's what I call a "domino build",
    because each of those packages has dependencies that need to be built,
    and you really need to build up an entire tree.

    When I built my very first browser from source, it took me 40 hours work,
    to construct the tree to make it happen. That's because I was on
    a Unix box, with no community tree on it, so everything had to be
    hand-hewn. But I did it. Because I badly needed a browser, and
    all we had was Lynx.

    Paul, much obliged for your kind efforts.

    After trying every setting on Ubuntu Software Center I stumbled upon GDebi which was more verbose and told me it was dependency errors.

    So I now know what I need to do

    But I am baffled because I had previously installed the same Ubuntu (CAELinux2020) on the same machine and USC did complain about
    dependencies. (Someone on Reddit told me which packages i needed to
    preinstall but I never got to it entirely). THis time USC just asked for root password, ran the progress bar then took me back to the install button.
    I guess now it doesn't matter. But it was odd.

    USC is otherwise fine in getting me "approved" software.
