I follow the instructions indicated in:

http://bioinformatics.ai.sri.com/ptools/installation-guide/released/unix.html (http://bioinformatics.ai.sri.com/ptoo...)

and I run this command in the terminal:

apt-get install libx11-6 libxext6 libxft2 libxmu6 libxp6 libxt6

but I recieved this problem:

E: Unable to locate package libxp6

How can I install libxp6 package?

Could you tell me which version of Ubuntu you're using? Tell me what is in /etc/lsb-release.

UPDATE/EDIT: It appears that Ubuntu no longer provides that library on later versions of Ubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/719839...

For the time being, you can get the library using an older package: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/...

UPDATE: Looks like you can get it to work if you install a local copy of the motif (libxm4) library: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libxm4 Restart Pathway Tools after installing this library.
