Sorry, I forgot to add that bzip2 is installed (v 1.0.6), I am not sure if the right libbz2 came with it. Running the earlier version of chiemra (September 14) brings up the GUI but the loaded molecules are invisible (the screen remains black).

I can go on for hours how great this new gnome desktop is *NOT*, but that's not the main issue here. During installation, the messages are as follows: Downloads% ./chimera-alpha-linux_x86_64\(1\).bin UnZipSFX 5.41 of 16 April 2000, by Info-ZIP (Zip-Bugs@lists.wku.edu).

This was using the November 14 version of Chimera. libbz2 error happens also during the run (I don't care much about icon problem). visvaldas% ~/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-2012-11-14/bin/chimera 1HVR.pdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/visvaldas/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-2012-11-14/share/__main__.py", line 69, in <module> value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv) File "/home/visvaldas/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-2012-11-14/share/chimeraInit.py", line 594, in init import chimera File "/home/visvaldas/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-2012-11-14/share/chimera/__init__.py", line 16, in <module> from _chimera import BBox, Camera, Color, ColorGroup, DirectionalLight, LODControl, Lens, LensViewer, Light, Material, MaterialColor, Model, NoGuiViewer, OGLFont, OSLAbbreviation, OpenModels, OpenState, PathFinder, PixelMap, Plane, Point, PositionalLight, Selectable, SharedState, SpotLight, Sphere, Texture, TextureColor, TrackChanges, Vector, Viewer, X3DScene, Xform ImportError: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Thank you for your attention, and many thanks.
