hi i had a following problem while install the chimera on linux,

./chimera OpenGL misconfiguration detected. /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 differs from /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1. Please read installation instructions.

So the link to the installation instructions is found on the download page: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/1.2065/linux.html>. Here is the relevant section: "If Chimera terminates with the error 'OpenGL misconfiguration detected', that means that you have two different versions of libGL.so installed -- one in /usr/lib (installed by your graphics card drivers) and one in /usr/X11R6/lib (possibly installed by Mesa, which if so would mean no hardware graphics acceleration if this version were used). Reinstalling your graphics card drivers should remove the /usr/X11R6/lib version. Alternatively, you could rename or remove the /usr/X11R6/lib version yourself. With the latter approach you might want to verify that all OpenGL applications that you use continue to work before permanently removing the library." Hope this helps, Greg Couch gregc@cgl.ucsf.edu
