What’s New in GaussView 6 can be found here and the release notes can be found here.

How to use

The environment for GaussView 6 is automatically set up when loading the gaussian 16 module e.g.

Code Block
themeFadeToGrey
 $ module load gaussian/g16c01

For more details on using modules see our software applications guide.

GaussView is then invoked by typing the following command from an X-window session:

Code Block
themeFadeToGrey
 $ gv

If the above ommand is generating error or issue, use the following command:

Code Block
themeFadeToGrey
$ gv -soft

The -soft flag uses software opengl rendering instead of hardware and your issue should be resolved.

XQuartz and macOS

If you are using XQuartz on macOS to run GaussView, you need to configure XQuartz to allow indirect GLX contexts. You can do this by quitting XQuartz, then in the macOS Terminal application run:

Code Block
themeFadeToGrey
# New versions
$ defaults write org.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true
 
# Old versions
$ defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true
