 XDS-viewer is a open source program that was written by Michael Hoffer (Kabsch lab). It replaces the now obsolete [[VIEW]] program, and is available from http://xds-viewer.sourceforge.net/ .

+I was able to compile the program (version 0.6) for RedHat Enterprise Linux version 6 (or rather, for its CentOS equivalents) by the following recipe:
-  # the X11 development libs are needed; in case they are not available use something like:
+  wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xds-viewer/xds-viewer-0.6.tar.gz
- # yum install libX11-devel libXext-devel
+  tar xf  xds-viewer-0.6.tar.gz
- # also check out http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/requirements-x11.html !
+  cd xds-viewer-0.6
+  sh compile.sh
- wget http://download.qtsoftware.com/qt/source/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.0.tar.gz
+  # If this complains about missing tools or libraries, use e.g. "yum search cmake"
-  # unpack the tarfile and run "./configure -static"; then "gmake -j <number of processes>".
+  # I had to "yum install cmake qt-devel"
-  # Warning: this takes hours and up to 10 GB disk space!
- # It may be possible to add e.g. the -no-qt3support -no-exceptions options but I didn't try.
- wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.3-Linux-i386.sh
- # unpack and note where the bin directory is
-  wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xds-viewer/xds-viewer-0.5.tar.gz
-  # unpack, then edit compile.sh and add a line like
-  # PATH=<path to cmake bin directory>:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.0/bin:$PATH
- sh compile.sh  # this gives the binary in the build/bin directory
 I worked out the following patch to make the x and y values fit into the upper right window:

 The resulting binaries are available at ftp://turn5.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/pub .
-Update Dec 21, 2009: XDS-viewer is at version 0.6 but the changes are minor, they affect only the installation script. The above still applies. Cmake is at version 2.8.0 now.
