[Chimera-users] amd64 installation

[Francesco Pietra]

To deal with very large data files i tried to install
chimera-1.3.2577-linux_x86_64.exe in /usr/local/chimera. Mainboard
Tyan S2895 dual-opterons; OS Debian amd64 lenny; nvidia chipset 6600,
nvidia-glx driver


To simplify i made the chimera directory to belong to me as user. The
installation from my home succeeded, though chimera did not launch. It
appears in part for a moment as if there were no opengl support:

francesco at tya64:/usr/local/chimera/bin$ ./chimera
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
  Resource id in failed request:  0xffffffff
  Serial number of failed request:  626
  Current serial number in output stream:  627


I installed libmotif3. Same issue.

Once the problem of running chimera is solved, I plan a reinstall in
/usr/local/chimera root root. Should I run the installation from my
home as superuser?

thanks

(I run successfully the 32 bit  version of chimera on an old Athlon
with libmotif3 support)
