Hi,
I have a problem running 32 bit linux version of Chimera on Debian64. When I run it, it complains about some libraries. Below I pasted what I get when I type chimera in a terminal window
arek@teton:~$ chimera
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/arek/progs/chimera/share/__main__.py", line 59, in ? value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv) File "/home/arek/progs/chimera/share/chimeraInit.py", line 231, in init import chimera File "/home/arek/progs/chimera/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py", l ine 15, in ?
ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The library libGL.so.1 is only in /usr/lib. Should it be in a different place? Any help appreciated.
cheers, Arek
/usr/lib is the right place. Run "ldd /usr/lib/libGL.so.1", and if you see "not found" in the output, then one of the libraries libGL is linked against is missing which will cause it to fail to load. You can also use the strace program to figure out what went wrong. If you email me the ldd output and the voluminous strace output ("strace chimera 2>&1 > strace-output.txt"), I should be able to pinpoint why your Debian system has problems.
