Your Linux installation is too new :-). We are working on a permanent solution. For now, the workaround is to remove CHIMERA/lib/libfreetype.so* and CHIMERA/lib/libz.so*, where CHIMERA is the location Chimera was installed. In your case, CHIMERA is /home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12. HTH, Greg On 11/28/18 3:54 AM, Cackett, Gwenny wrote:
Hi so I am running Linux Fedora 29 and since updating from Fedora 28 I have noticed my Chimera installation has stopped working - the icon does not open the program. And when I try to run from the command line I get the code below, which I gather is an issue with python importing a module:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12/share/__main__.py", line 69, in <module> value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv) File "/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12/share/chimeraInit.py", line 628, in init import chimera File "/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12/share/chimera/__init__.py", line 2758, in <module> from SimpleSession import BEGIN_RESTORE_SESSION, END_RESTORE_SESSION File "/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12/share/SimpleSession/__init__.py", line 14, in <module> from save import saveSession, sessionID, noAutoRestore, autoRestorable, \ File "/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12/share/SimpleSession/save.py", line 13, in <module> from chimera import replyobj, selection, SessionPDBio, version File "/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12/share/chimera/replyobj.py", line 24, in <module> import Tkinter File "/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in <module> import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: /usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and best wishes,
