[xcrysden] xcrysden not starting with fedora 34 (gnome 40)

[Gavin Abo]

I can now confirm it also worked for me when I clicked the gear icon on 
the login screen on Fedora 34 and selected "GNOME on Xorg" following the 
Fedora documentation at:


https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/


I got the xcrysden-1.6.2-linux_x86_64-shared.tar.gz at


http://www.xcrysden.org/Download.html


and decompressed it (tar xvf xcrysden-1.6.2-linux_x86_64-shared.tar.gz).


I got the Togl2.0-8.4-Linux64.tar.gz at


https://sourceforge.net/projects/togl/files/Togl/2.0/


and decompressed it (tar xvf Togl2.0-8.4-Linux64.tar.gz).


In the extracted Togl2.0-8.4-Linux\lib\Togl2.0 directory, I created a 
symbolic link (ln -s libTogl2.0.so libTogl.0.2) following the post at:


http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2020-February/001980.html


I set XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR in my .bashrc:


export XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR=/home/username/xcrysden-1.6.2-bin-shared
export PATH=$PATH:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR


I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the Togl2.0-8.4-Linux\lib\Togl2.0 directory 
following the post at:


http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2020-February/001982.html


I closed and opened a new terminal to load the new .bashrc settings.


Finally, it opened without error when I ran in a terminal the command: 
xcrysden
