Greetings - I am lost getting coot to run (see below the signature for fine details).  I have started `apt install` in piecemeal fashion and am getting nowhere (also see below for details), e.g. installing libguile-3.0 but it is already installed. This is usually a sign of user error, and having looked around the usual places, now I must try asking a question before causing more trouble :

Are there specific environment variables coot needs to know about or have set upon startup?

No.



some details:

This is a frustration all round.

Coot on ubuntu links the system png library

libpng12-0:amd64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0

I guess you need to install that.

You can try

$ coot --check-libs
