Hi All,

I am trying to install xmol onto a SGI Indigo2 Extreme workstation. It
proceeds fine until it tries to install the auxillary files at which point the
installation program returns with the following:

*.cnvt - No such file or directory
*.help - No such file or directory
*.types - No such file or directory

Then the program hangsup. It will not continue furture and will not allow
additional input.

I do have these files and they are in the directory inwhich I initiate the
installation program.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. The log of the installation follows
such that you can follow what I am doing up to that point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to XMol Version 1.3.1. This release includes:

README description of terms and conditions
INSTALL this file
XKeysymDB OSF Keysyms
XMol.ad application defaults file for XMol
xmol.<arch> architecture-specific executable
msc.x X bitmap
*.cnvt format conversion tables
*.help context-sensitive help files

xmol.1.ps xmol man page -- PostScript version
xyz.5 man page for XYZ format -- nroff source
xyz.5.ascii man page for XYZ format -- ASCII version
xyz.5.ps man page for XYZ format -- PostScript version

Press Return to continue.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Throughout the installation process, you will be asked various site-
specific questions. Default answers will be supplied for you [ in
brackets, like this ]. To select the default, simply press the return
key.

When specifying directories, please use full pathnames. For example,
do NOT use names like ./bin. All filenames should start with a '/'.

Note that certain steps in the installation require placing files in
standard, system-wide directories (such as /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults)
which may not be writable by ordinary users. As such, installation
may have to be done by someone with super-user privileges, such as
your system administrator. Alternatively, files may be placed in
personal directories; however, XMol may not then be available to all
users.

If you use su to become the super-user, use su -, to ensure that
the USER variable is set to root.

Enter Q to quit, or just press the Return key to continue.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Determining your system architecture...

XMol Version 1.3.1 supports five machine types: rs6000, mips, sgi, sun3, and
sun4.

Next, the various auxiliary files need to be installed in a directory
of their own. Type in an appropriate directory name.
