One more thing, you would be be much better off running a newer version of Linux, preferably a desktop version. And I would strongly recommend using an AMD/ATI or NVIDIA graphics card and installing the vendor's proprietary driver. The proprietary drivers are typically faster and more robust than the open source drivers. If you stick with Fedora core 6, a proprietary driver is mandatory because the older open source drivers are too buggy for chimera. (Fedora core 6 was released on October 24, 2006, and the current version is Fedora core 15 which was released today.) -- Greg On 05/24/2011 11:51 AM, Greg Couch wrote:
So everyone knows, the headless version of chimera does not provide a visible graphics window. It is designed to run chimera and Python scripts and export data or save images, and is usually installed for use by web servers. So if you are new to chimera, it is the wrong version to use.
So I'd recommend downloading and installing the chimera 1.5.3 release candidate (the actual release should be out within a day, so if you can wait a day, do so). The Linux installer needs to be make executable (chmod +x installer.bin) and run in a Terminal window. When the installer pauses for input, you will see that it has filled out the answer for you with a default value. If you don't like that value, use your normal terminal line editing to change it (ie., use DEL to delete a character, ^U to delete the line, etc.).
HTH,
