Use the ChimeraX flatpak.  Red Hat 9 corresponds to Fedora 36, and the Fedora 40 system libraries might not all be compatible with Fedora 36.

If you want to dig into the bug more, you could run chimerax under a debugger and look at the backtrace:

$ gdb /usr/bin/chimerax
(gdb) run
(gdb) bt

Please let us know what you try and what didn't and what did work.

    Good luck,

I have installed ucsf-chimerax-1.8-1.el9.x86_64.rpm on a fedora 40 pc.

Installation was fine.

When I launch 'chimerax' I get the following error:

$ chimerax
Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault

Any hint?
