[chimerax-users] ChimeraX 1.3 not working fully on Manjaro Linux - missing libraries

Hi,

I would like to ask for some help running the generic Linux version of 
ChimeraX.

I was running ChimeraX 1.3 without problems on my home machine with 
Manjaro Linux. But now I had to format my system drive and after 
installing the current Manjaro release, ChimeraX is not working 100%. 
One thing that is not working is the log dialog: It is just blank and 
when I perform actions (i. e. selecting residues in a model or switching 
the lighting settings) no commands are shown in the log, it just flashes 
white briefly. Also the toolshed does not seem to load.

As ChimeraX was running fine before the system re-install, I assume that 
I am missing some libraries that where installed before. I just do not 
remember installing anything specific for ChimeraX in the past, so I 
would like to ask if you have some idea which library could be amiss 
here? I am running ChimeraX from the terminal, but there was no output 
to point me in the correct direction.

Many regards,

Helge
