[xcrysden] Issues running XCrySDen for the first time (error while loading shared libraries: libTog12.0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

[John Kissane]

I had a similar problem but on Linux rather than Cygwin. See this discussion on the forum in case it's of help.

Hi All,

I am a new user and am having difficulty running XCrySDen for the first time.

I’m using the pre-compiled Cygwin version 1.6.2. I believe I’ve install all of the required packaged through the Cygwin installer. Here is what I see after I start an Xterm and send the ./xcrysden command within the parent, unpackaged tar.gz directory (note error in bold):


$ ./xcrysden

Seems that tcl-togl is not installed, but here’s the proof:

Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
tcl-togl             2.0-4          OK


Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Best,
Andrew
