    <p>Chimera installs lib/libRMF.so, and UCSF IMP also installs

      lib/libRMF.so, so that they can't be used together, despite the

      claim that "IMP can also be used from the <a

        href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/">Chimera</a> molecular

      modeling

      system" (see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://integrativemodeling.org/">https://integrativemodeling.org/</a>).</p>

    <p><br>

    </p>

    <p>Please unbundle libRMF (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/salilab/rmf">https://github.com/salilab/rmf</a>), and use

      an external package for it.</p>

    <p><br>

    </p>

    <p>Also imagine if some other software used libRMF too, how can they

      all be installed together? Bundling is a mess. Please never bundle

      software packages because this only causes problems down the road.</p>

    <p><br>

    </p>

    <p>I also asked IMP to unbundle libRMF.so:

    <p>Thanks,<br>
