[Chimera-users] UCSF import Error

[Greg Couch]

Your Linux installation is too new :-).  We are working on a permanent 
solution.  For now, the workaround is to remove 
CHIMERA/lib/libfreetype.so* and CHIMERA/lib/libz.so*, where CHIMERA is 
the location Chimera was installed.  In your case, CHIMERA is 
/home/gwenny/.local/UCSF-Chimera64-1.12.


     HTH,


     Greg
