I've been using Chimera 1.5.3 under Linux (Ubuntu
12.04, 64-bit) without problems; that version I had
installed as root, and is
owned by root. Just now I updated to version 1.8,
which, initially, I also installed as root. But
trying to run it (as non-root) gave me fairly opaque error messages (copied
below). On a hunch that it was a
matter of privilege, I tried
running with `sudo` -- which works fine.
Since it was
not obvious where the problem lay, I
cleaned out the installation, and
installed anew as a normal
user (me). Accordingly, the whole
installation directory tree is owned by me. But still I
cannot run it (same
errors) as me, but only with `sudo`.
Same user, same start
directory, apparently
the same Python (2.7) as works
with v. 1.5.3.
I'm totally
flummoxed! Can't imagine where the privilege
hang-up is. Any
hints where I should look?
Thanks,
Bob Wohlhueter
