<p>If the generic linux version does not work, it usually means that
some system library is missing or too new. Another possibilities
are that you have a buggy graphics driver, like the open-source
Nvidia nouveau one. Or you're trying to run it on a version of
Linux that is too old -- it must be running Linux kernel 3.11 or
newer.</p>
<p>For the system library problems, the solution depends on what the
problem is. If it is missing, then the system package needs to be
installed. For example, libGLU.so might be missing, so the
mesa-libGLU package would need to be installed. If there is a
newer version of the library on the system, it might suffice to
create a symbolic link of the old name to the new name (in the
ChimeraX lib directory). Or you might need to find an old version
of the package to install.</p>
<p>For our next ChimeraX release, we hope to switch to flatpak for
the generic linux version.</p>

Hi Dobromir,

<div class=""> Did you try the "Generic Linux" ChimeraX
distribution which is a *.tar.gz file on the download page? It
is supposed to have all dependencies.</div>

<div class="">I have installed Chimera linux from
binary and everything was OK from the get-go.
ChimeraX however, fails to start for library
dependencies. As I understand the source depends on
around 50 packages. I don't know (and I can find no
indication on internet) how many libraries am I
missing, but I'm also kind of limited in terms of
disk space / linux size and my distro does not have
a very nice package manager - Clear Linux (it
installs entire bundles of similar packages, instead
of single packages and once removed the disk size
does not go down). Is it possible to make a ChimeraX
linux binary which is as easy to run as the Chimera
linux binary - universal for all distributions and
including all necessary dependencies ?</div>
