Hi Andy, Your error message means the two machines you are using cannot remotely display OpenGL using X windows because of incompatible graphics drivers. It has nothing to do with Chimera. Specifically the error says the NV-GLX (nvidia glx) extension is missing on the server. X windows remote display is a nearly dead technology, poorly supported, only in rare cases does the OpenGL work. Why are you trying to do this instead of using a modern desktop sharing protocol?

Dear All,
I am having difficulty to launch Chimera remotely with the following Error message on my Mac. I understand that the current OS X (version 10.8.5) and the latest Xcode has some issues and cannot handle the process ?!
Is there a way out of this ?
Thanks and Best Wishes
Andy
