Chimera 1.5 (32-bit) on OpenSuSE 64-bit v11.2
I have just installed 1.5 on my syustem.. The installer insists on an installation in /home/computation/.local in spite of my attempts to install in a location of my choice.
This is rather annoying as I prefer to install software on a hard drive that will not be overwritten when I upgrade the OS.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance. The Linux installer did change, but it is only suggesting that chimera be put in ~/.local. And if you install as root (e.g., via sudo), it will suggest that chimera be put in /opt/UCSF/Chimera. To change were chimera is installed, use your terminal's character erase or line kill key to edit it (typically DEL and Control-U). The gory details about character editing are found in the stty manual page.
The updated Linux installer also installs a desktop icon and will setup a symbolic link to the the chimera executable on your path so you don't need to put CHIMERA/bin on your path (in fact, we recommend not putting CHIMERA/bin on your path to avoid conflicts with system binaries). - Greg
