[Chimera-users] Please unbundle libRMF

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 Chimera 
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/> molecular modeling system" (see 
https://integrativemodeling.org/).


Please unbundle libRMF (https://github.com/salilab/rmf), and use an 
external package for it.


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.


I also asked IMP to unbundle libRMF.so:

Thanks,

Yuri
