Dear all,

I have uninstalled a previous version of XCRYSDEN and now I am re installing 
the XCRYSDEN -1.5.24-src version on my laptop. the "untarring" of the tarred 
package goes fine. When I type ./xcConfigure, the program automatically 
assigns the $XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR and $XCRYSDN_SCRATCH to:

XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR=/XcrySDen-1.5.24-src
XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH=/Elie-molecules/xcrys_tmp.
PATH="$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR:$PATH:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/scripts:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/util"

The problem here is in XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH where Elie-molecules folder does not 
exist. I deleted it when I deleted the previous version. Somehow XCRYSDEN 
still retains this "path". This is giving an error once I run ./xcrysden :

./xcrysden: line 165:/Elie-molecules/XcrySDen-1.5.23-src-all/scripts/xcLib.sh: 
no such file or directory.

Note the XCrysden-1.5.23 up there. Please can anyone help what shall I do to 
correct this error and make XCrysden forget about previous versions..I am a 
beginner I really appreciate a detailed solution..Thank you all
