[Chimera-users] On installation of Chimera linux version

[Greg Couch]

You still haven't said which version of Linux you have.  That might be 
critical.

I left out a step for the ldd, do:

     env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/UCSF-chimera64-1.14/lib ldd 
/UCSF-chimera64-1.14/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so

It should find the libtk8.6.so in /UCSF-chimera64-1.14/lib/.
