I am attempting the installation of ChimeraC-1.2.5(chimerax-1.2.5-rc-2021.05.24) on my up to date Debian v-1064 bit platform. I open the tar.gz package without any difficulties, but when I attempt to execute ChmieraX i get the following: comp@AbNormal:~/Apps/chimerax-1.2.5-rc-2021.05.24/bin$ ./ChimeraX qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Is this the problem? Is there a solution? Reinstalling did not fix the problem. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. www.molecular-modeling.net 614.312.7528 (c) Skype: smolnar1
