Dear ChimeraX developers,

I am installing the ChimeraX/1.3 in one of our GPU workstation (CentOS Linux 7). The installation processed well but after I tried to start the chimerax program, it showed:

I have searched the ChimeraX mail list and found several previous email talking about this issue but I have tried all of them
For instance, I have re-install the libxcb library: sudo yum reinstall libxcb
but none of it could work.


Would you like to check this and let me know how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!
