Hello, I could not open the COOT GUI after installing either from 'coot-0.6.1-binary-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2.tar.gz' or from 'coot-0.6.2-pre-1-revision-3205-binary-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2.tar.gz'
I used the following commands: 1. from /usr/loca/src sudo tar xvzf *.gz as suggested in http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/COOT#Installing_Coot_on_Linux 2. I created the following link by typing sudo ln -s /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2/bin/coot /usr/local/bin/coot After I run the command 'coot' I got the following error: hena@dl403a-2:~> coot COOT_PREFIX is /usr/local /usr/local/bin/coot-real /usr/local/bin/coot: line 247: /usr/local/bin/coot-real: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/coot: line 253: /usr/local/bin/guile: No such file or directory hena@dl403a-2:~> Then I link the whole 'bin' directory as follows: sudo ln -s /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2/bin/ /usr/local/bin/ and I got the following error after running 'coot': hena@dl403a-2:~> coot COOT_PREFIX is /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2 /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2/bin/coot-real /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2/bin/coot-real: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory coot-exe: "/usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2/bin/coot-real" coot-version: /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2/bin/coot-real /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2/bin/coot-real: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory platform: /bin/uname core: #f No core file found. No debugging This is not helpful. Please turn on core dumps before sending a crash report hena@dl403a-2:~> I checked that I have 'libpng12.so.0' file in different 'lib' folders. I successfully installed other programs like CCP4, CNS and PHENIX in my openSUSE 11.3 Can someone advise what's wrong I am doing? Many thanks... hena
