I would appreciate your help for some problems with installation of chimera 1.12 in rhel 7.4 linux. Although we have installed chimera in rhel 5.4 before, this time we upgraded OS to rhel 7.4 and run into the problem. Basically I downloaded the binary file from your website and run the bin file in the Download directory. But the process failed. I have included the error message in the attachment and would appreciate your help.
PS. I have troubled attaching the file. SO I paste it below:
root@boxx Downloads]# ./chimera-1.12-linux_x86_64.bin
