Hello,

I installed chimera on fedor10. The installation was done but when I try to open, it gives me the following error. How should i resolve the problem

python2.5: can't open file '/usr/local/share/checkOpenGL.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Thanks, Bala

Do you have the CHIMERA environment set? If so, it must be set to the top of the chimera installation, i.e., the directory you gave when you installed chimera. If not, we'll need to dig deeper into how you installed and are invoking chimera (but no other explanation seems possible). Type "env CHIMERA" to see the current value. And "unset CHIMERA" to clear it in bash/sh or "unsetenv CHIMERA" in csh/tcsh. It is best left unset. And for Linux users, I'd like to recommend that you not put the chimera/bin directory on your path, but instead put a symbolic link to the chimera executable in one of the directories on your PATH. For example, if chimera is installed in /opt/chimera and ~/bin is on your path, then ln -s /opt/chimera/bin/chimera ~/bin You could also place a symbolic link on your Desktop, so you can double-click on it to start chimera up: ln -s /opt/chimera/bin/chimera ~/Desktop Good luck and please let me know if I figured out your bug or not, Greg Couch UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
