[xcrysden] xcrysden window could not OPEN

[Gavin Abo]

In your post I see "xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-shared".  Maybe it is because 
you used the shared instead of the semishared package:

I just tried and the xcrysden semishared binary package successfully ran 
on ubuntu 16.04 installed on a USB stick.  The installation process was 
very similar to CentOS 7 [ 
http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2017-July/001889.html ] and 
Fedora [ 
http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2015-March/001697.html ]:

1. Went to: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
2. Downloaded: ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
3. Went to: http://linuxliveusb.com/
4. Downloaded: LinuxLive USB Creator 2.9.4.exe
5. Ran: LinuxLive USB Creator 2.9.4.exe
a. Clicked OK
b. Clicked Next
c. Clicked Install
d. Clicked Next
e. "Run LinuxLive USB Creator" should be checked, then clicked Finish
6. In LinuxLive USB Creator:
a. For Choose Your Key, selected the USB stick
b. For Choose a Source, selected ISO/IMG/ZIP, and select 
ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
c. For Persistence, selected 2000 MB
d. Clicked the lightning icon to start the creation of the bootable USB 
stick
7. Booted from the USB stick
a. Clicked Try Ubuntu
b. Connected to the Internet (Wifi [ 
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-connect.html ])
8. Opened a terminal and performed the following:

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ wget 
http://www.xcrysden.org/download/xcrysden-1.5.60-linux_x86_64-semishared.tar.gz
...
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ tar xvf xcrysden-1.5.60-linux_x86_64-semishared.tar.gz

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ cd xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-semishared/scripts/
ubuntu at ubuntu:~/xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-semishared/scripts$ ./xcConfigure.sh
...
    Used defaults
    Do you have a CRYSTAL package ([y]es/[n]o): n
    Is this correct ([y]es/[n]o): y
...
    Would you like to add xcrysden icon to the desktop ([y]es/[n]o): y

ubuntu at ubuntu:~/xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-semishared/scripts$ source ~/.bashrc
ubuntu at ubuntu:~/xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-semishared/scripts$ xcrysden
