It looks like you installed a 64-bit version of libXext, but a 32-bit version of Chimera. Try the 64-bit version of Chimera or install the 32-bit version of libXext. HTH, Greg On 3/31/2017 8:01 AM, Vasileios Kargas wrote:

Dear Chimera developer,

I am trying to install UCSF-Chimera and I have an issue with the libXext.so.6 library

I 've installed the library package that contains this and I can locate it at:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

However I get this error:

vk335@hunter:~$ ./chimera-1.11.2-linux.bin UnZipSFX 5.41 of 16 April 2000, by Info-ZIP (Zip-Bugs@lists.wku.edu). Original path: '/home/vk335' inflating: chimera_install_L6RcLz/installer inflating: chimera_install_L6RcLz/chimera.bin

If I install it in the default Chimera directory without desktop icon it proceeds to the installation but I can not run chimera - taking the same error:

ImportError: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any suggestions how to solve it? Should this be linked to somewhere else in order the Chimera to find it?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
