[xcrysden] [Partially solved] Install fails at startup in function glLightfv()

[Bhagwan Sahu]

Hi,


I have a 32 bit desktop with Ubuntu Linux (version 10.04) and downloaded the semi-shared version for it.

xc-1.5.24-linux_x86-semishared.tar.gz

ungzip followed by ./xcConfigure step and followed by source ~/.bashrc and launching 'xcrysden' from the Xcrysden directory produces this message:

Can't open /home/brsahu/XCrySDen-1.5.25-bin-shared/scripts/xcLib.sh

Any suggestions?

Bhagawan
