Hi Ojha, Your problem installing 64-bit Linux Chimera 1.2422 is that system library glibc 2.4 is not found. I wonder whether your Linux distribution is too old to have this library or too new. Can you tell me what linux distribution you are using? The glibc 2.4 library first came out in March 2006. glibc 2.5 appeared in September 2006, and glibc 2.6 appeared in April 2007. We only have one 64-bit linux system to build Chimera distributions on, and it uses glibc 2.4. You can try the 32-bit linux version of Chimera. I believe it will work with older linux (including 64-bit) distributions. This problem was reported earlier (June 2007) and is in the Chimera bug database, id 3987. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view&pr=3987&database=chimer... Tom

You don't say which version of linux you're using, but I have seen that error on 64-bit Debian Linux systems (so the same problem would occur with Ubuntu). If you were running 64-bit Red Hat or SuSe Linux, it should have worked. We are investigating an alternative compliation environment (using the LSB tools) that would fix this problem, but in the meantime, the workaround is to use the 32-bit version of chimera.

Debian "Etch" Stable still uses a 2.3.6 libc, and it seems that in the installer executable there are symbol references from 2.4. Curiously, the other executables and libraries don't seem to require 2.4, just 2.3. The only symbol from 2.4 is __stack_chk_failed, which might indicate that something there was compiled with the -fstack-protector (Stack overflow protection) feature, which is only supported from gcc-4.1 and glibc 2.4. Debian "Sid" Unstable or "Lenny" Testing (which are quite stable despite the name, "testing" being more stable than "unstable") have 2.6 libcs. Ubuntu switched to a 2.4 libc with the Edgy release (6.10, i.e. October 2006). On our AMD64 Ubuntuns, Chimera 1.2422 runs fine. -Christoph -- | Christoph Best <cbest@rzg.mpg.de> http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~cbest | Max-Planck-Institut fuer Biochemie, Munich, Germany +49-89-8578 2634

That is great news! I double-checked the binaries and you're right, only the installer requires Glibc 2.4. It's not clear why that is since we don't compile with -fstack-protector. I'll investigate further. - Greg
Dear Dr. Tom Goddard, I am using 2.6.5-7.244-smp version of SUSE Enterprise 9 on our AMD opteron machine. Please help us and oblige. Thanks Ojha

There is a new snapshot of chimera for 64-bit linux available, version 1.2436, for download that doesn't have the glibc 2.4 dependency anymore, so it should install on Debian now. Please let me know if it works on anything older than Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5, Fedora Core 5, SuSe 10, or Unbuntu 6.10. - Greg <URL http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html#snapshots>

Works on x86_64 RHEL4. What's the purpose of the scrollbar on the left side of the viewing window? Is there some way to disable it?

That's a snapshot bug. If you go to Tools/Preferences/Tools and put a tool on the toolbar and then remove it, the scrollbar will disappear. - Greg
