Hi Amith, That rather cryptic error message just means that the directory you listed in the cd command either does not exist or you do not have permission to read it. You could try cd /wynton/scratch then if that works try cd /wynton/scratch/avranga1008 and just keep going until you find the directory that is causing the problem. Tom

The problem was that Amith was using a chimerax that was an alias that runs chimerax inside a singularity container. A singularity container is used so all of the runtime libraries that ChimeraX needs are guaranteed to be there. So the fix was to modify the alias to bind the scratch directories to the singularity container, ie., alias chimerax='singularity run --bind /wynton/scratch,/scratch PATH-TO-CHIMERAX_SIF.sif' instead of just: alias chimerax='singularity run PATH-TO-CHIMERAX_SIF.sif' -- Greg On 4/6/2022 6:46 PM, Tom Goddard via ChimeraX-users wrote:
