fail to install chimera 1.12

Hello, I would appreciate your help for some problems with installation of chimera 1.12 in rhel 7.4 linux. Although we have installed chimera in rhel 5.4 before, this time we upgraded OS to rhel 7.4 and run into the problem. Basically I downloaded the binary file from your website and run the bin file in the Download directory. But the process failed. I have included the error message in the attachment and would appreciate your help. Sincrely, Haoming Zhang PhD Research Assistant Professor The University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI PS. I have troubled attaching the file. SO I paste it below: root@boxx Downloads]# ./chimera-1.12-linux_x86_64.bin UnZipSFX 5.41 of 16 April 2000, by Info-ZIP (Zip-Bugs@lists.wku.edu).

Hello, As you saw at the end of the traceback, libXss.so.1 is missing from your system. To fix that, the administrator of your system needs to install the libXScrnSaver package. On RHEL or CentOS that can be done by executing: sudo yum install libXScrnSaver Not sure why it isn't already installed. -- Greg On 12/1/2017 8:47 AM, Haoming Zhang wrote:
