[chimera-dev] Re: Chimera start-up problem - final word on SuSE8.0

Hi Jim,

  The strace output you sent shows that Chimera is using the system
python /usr/bin/python2.2 on your machine.  That is loading the system
Python Tk module (called Tkinter) and that is linked against Tcl/Tk 8.3
and Tix 8.1 while Chimera requires Tcl/Tk 8.4 and Tix 8.2.

  The solution here is to reinstall Chimera.  I'm guessing that it asked
you whether you wanted to use the system Python or the one provided with
Chimera, and you elected to use the system Python.  You need to use the
Python provided Chimera.  If the installer does not ask about which Python
to use let me know.
