If it helps, the simplest way to get xcrysden 1.6.2 to run in Fedora 34 might be to compile it from source. The following seemed to work in a virtual machine (i.e., VirtualBox) on Windows 10.  So it will most likely work starting at step 10 on a computer when Fedora 34 is installed on the 'hardware' instead of in a 'virtual machine'.

1. Went to: https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/
2. Downloaded Fedora 34: x86_64 DVD ISO: Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34_Beta-1.3.iso
3. Went to: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
4. Downloaded Windows hosts: VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Win.exe
5. Installed VirtualBox in Windows 10
   a. Ran: VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Win.exe
   b. Clicked Next
   c. Clicked Next
   d. Clicked Next
   e. Clicked Yes
   f. Clicked Install
   g. Clicked Finish
6. If needed, enable 64 bit virtualization as described at: https://superuser.com/questions/1241956/virtualbox-only-allowing-32-bit-os
7. Setup VirtualBox
   a. On desktop, ran: Oracle VM VirtualBox
   b. Clicked Machine -> New...
   c. For Name typed: Fedora 34
   d. Selected Type: Linux
   e. Selected Version: Fedora (64 bit)
   f. Clicked Next
   g. Put 3064 and click Next
   h. Selected "Create a virtual hard disk now" and click Create
   i. Selected "VDI (Virtual Disk Image" and click Next
   j. Selected "Dynamically allocated" and click Next
   k. Put 50.00 GB and click Create
   l. Under Storage, click on [Optical Drive] Empty, click "Choose a disk file..." and open Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34_Beta-1.3.iso
   n. Click Settings -> System -> Processor, set Processors to 2, then click OK
   n. Clicked Start
8. Installed Fedora 34
   a. Selected "Start Fedora-Workstation-Live 34_Beta"
   b. Clicked "Install to Hard Drive"
   c. Selected English and clicked Continue
   d. Clicked "I want to proceed"
   e. Clicked "Installation Destination"
   f. Clicked Done
   g. Clicked "Begin Installation"
   h. Clicked "Finish Installation"
   i. In Fedora Live click on battery icon, click Poweroff/Log Out -> Power Off... and Power Off
   j. Under Storage in VirtualBox, click on [Optical Drive] Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34_Beta-1.3.iso and clicked "Remove disk form virtual drive"
   k. In VirtualBox, clicked Start
9. Setup Fedora 34
   a. Clicked "Start Setup"
   b. Turn off "Location Services" and "Automatic Problem Reporting", then click Next
   c. Click "Skip" to Online Accounts
   d. Type a Full Name and Username and click Next
   e. Type a password and click Next
   f. Click "Start Using Fedora"
10. Opened a terminal in Fedora 34 and performed the following:

Hi,

I am trying to run xcrysden  in fedora 34.
On running xcrysden, I am getting error:

This is apparently identical to
http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2020-February/001980.html

which was working until fedora 33. But on 34, in spite of having Togl
in xcrysden itself as Togl2.0-8.4-Linux as /opt/xcrysden-1.6.2-bin-
shared/Togl2.0-8.4-Linux/lib and libTogl.so.2 -> libTogl2.0.so<http://libtogl2.0.so/>
I am still facing the same error.

Kindly help.
