MALOC?

Ubuntu

APBS are in the repository: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apbs
MALOC are in the repository: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libmaloc1

Compile yourself

If you really want, then see this section: APBS

Example

There is a nice tutorial on the APBS homepage: [1]
For further help, there is a mailing list [2] with the corresponding archive [3]

Example 1 - Rename of funny atom names

Read about the protein here: http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/3ig7

reinitialize 
fetch 3IG7, async=0

Open the APBS Tool2.1... plugin. The executable should be found for itself:

Click tab Grid settings. In Calculate Grid Center by Selection, write EFP.
Try clicking Wired Box in top right, and then Show Box, Hide Box, Cylindric Box, Show Box.
Then push Select binding site. In PyMOL, write

show sticks, binding_site
cmd.disable("binding_site")
hide sticks, binding_site

Click tab Receptor. Mark cdk, and click Generate Receptor.
Click cdk2 to the "right", and see where the files are located.
Click tab Ligands. Mark EFP, and click EFP in the Ligand list. Here is the files stored. Click Generate Ligand
Click tab Docking, and click Run Vina. Wait 3-5 minutes, until Writing output ... done.
Click tab View poses, Browse to EFP.docked.pdbqt. Click Load, Show best 10. Experiment with "Display options, and click the candidates"
Congratulations, you did it!
