Description
From http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/gv5ref/intro.htm: "GaussView is a graphical user interface designed to help you prepare input for submission to Gaussian and to examine graphically the output that Gaussian produces. GaussView is not integrated with the computational module of Gaussian, but rather is a front-end/back-end processor to aid in the use of Gaussian." For more information, please see http://www.gaussian.com/g_prod/gv5.htm.

Running Program
Also refer to Running Jobs on the teaching cluster.
GaussView5 is installed in /usr/local/apps/eb/gaussian/09-Intel-SSE4_2/gv and /usr/local/apps/eb/gaussian/09-AMD-SSE4a/gv.
The interactive nodes on the teaching cluster are not yet configured to forward X11. You can run GaussView directly on the teaching cluster login node.
Note that you will need to have your SSH configured to export X to your local machine. For more information on how to run remote X-windows applications, please see Connecting and our Frequently Asked Questions. Note for Windows users: If you are using Xming, you will also need to have Xming-mesa installed.
For Intel processors:
The login nodes on the teaching cluster have Intel processors.
Gaussian binaries optimized for Intel processors are installed in /usr/local/apps/eb/gaussian/09-Intel-SSE4_2/g09. To use GaussView with this version of Gaussian, please first load the gaussian/09-Intel-SSE4_2 module and source g09.profile with
module load gaussian/09-Intel-SSE4_2 . $g09root/g09/bsd/g09.profile gview.csh
If you are having trouble with GaussView starting, with errors about X11 or "OpenGL is not available", or if you are on a Mac and the GaussView window does not display properly, please try to type the command below before invoking GaussView on the interactive node:
export USE_MESAGL=1
