The OpenGL graphics library is an operating system library. If you install it then Chimera should find it. There is nothing more you would have to do. Tom

The error installing on the Ubuntu virtual machine means that the opengl graphics library libGL.so.1 was not found. Probably you need to install a graphics driver for the Ubuntu virtual machine in order for Chimera to start.

Dear Tom Hope you are well. I think I have been at this for days. I am trying to install Chimera on a Windows installation but I have had a few bugs which I have submitted to Bugs.

I thought in the meantime , I could try and install Chimera in the Windows Subsystem with Ubuntu.

I have got so far but I keep on getting the below error.

I have tried to see if I am missing any libraries to no avail.

Do you have any suggestions please ?

Thank you very much.

Kind Regards

Mark
