Also I am having problems with installing Chimera on Linux Fedora 11(32 bit version). I am able to download it and install it. When I start chimera it comes up and then crashes immediately, the only message it gives is Segmentation Fault.
Is there anyway I could resolve this problem.
Thank You

The first thing to try is a chimera daily build. The daily builds make fewer assumptions about what Linux provides. However, there is still a good chance that chimera will crash in Fedora 11 -- because Fedora 11's OpenGL support is based on the latest and greatest Mesa code and as the Mesa website says "Those especially concerned about stability may want to wait for the follow-on 7.6.1 bug-fix release.". Currently, we have found that the default NVidia driver does not work, but that the driver from NVidia does. The opposite is true for ATI drivers, the default driver works, but the one from ATI fails. The default Intel driver is mostly okay (e.g,. when doing area selections, the selection box can appear in a different application's window!). So good luck, and please tell me how it goes, Greg
