Greetings, I did a fresh installation of Chimera on Ubuntu 19.04 but although the installation finished successfully, I get this error message whenever I launch the executable:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/share/__main__.py", line 73, in <module> value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv) File "/home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/share/chimeraInit.py", line 666, in init import chimera File "/home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/share/chimera/__init__.py", line 2777, in <module> from SimpleSession import BEGIN_RESTORE_SESSION, END_RESTORE_SESSION File "/home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/share/SimpleSession/__init__.py", line 14, in <module> from save import saveSession, sessionID, noAutoRestore, autoRestorable, \ File "/home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/share/SimpleSession/save.py", line 13, in <module> from chimera import replyobj, selection, SessionPDBio, version File "/home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/share/chimera/replyobj.py", line 24, in <module> import Tkinter File "/home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in <module> import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var
What is strange is that the following works without error: /home2/thomas/Programs/Chimera-1.13.1/bin/python2.7 -c 'import _tkinter'
Any idea what might be wrong?
