Dear chimera users, I downloaded chimera-1.2304-linux.exe from UCSF chimera homepage but could not make it run. The chimera program looks like self-extractable in xp. I couldn't find any clue to start in linux although I looked up several instruction web pages. Please tell me how it works! Thank you. Sincerely, Soyoun

The problem is that when a Linux web browser downloads the chimera installer, it doesn't make it executable, you have to do that by hand. So, the trick is to make the file executable by giving the following shell command: chmod +x chimera-1.2304-linux.exe Then you can run it to install chimera: ./chimera-1.2304-linux.exe Please let me know if this answered your question, Greg Couch UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
