[Chimera-users] lib64bz2, question, running and installing chimera

[Sai Tong]

I tried to install alpha version of chimera today in a linux machine 
running fedora core 14
chimera-alpha-linux_x86_64.bin

after installation,  running chimera gives the following

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-2012-11-14/share/__main__.py", line 69, in 
<module>
    value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv)
  File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-2012-11-14/share/chimeraInit.py", line 594, 
in init
    import chimera
  File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-2012-11-14/share/chimera/__init__.py", line

ImportError: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory

The lib64 directory contains the following:
lrwxrwxrwx.     /lib64/libbz2.so.1 -> libbz2.so.1.0.6
-rwxr-xr-x.        /lib64/libbz2.so.1.0.6

If I install the current production release version,  running chimera 
from this production installation would be without problem.

Should I temporarily link libbz2.so.1.0.6 to libbz2.so.1.0 in /lib64 in 
order to make the alpha version of chimera run?
