[xcrysden] Error in running xcrysden: Exec format error

[Gavin Abo]

As seen at [1], xcrysden-1.6.2-linux_x86_64-shared.tar.gz is for a Linux 
distribution [2] that is 64 bit.

As seen at [3-4], the "Exec format error" might be from trying to run a 
64 bit executable in an operating system that only runs 32 bit executables.

You mentioned using a previous version of XCrySDen.  Have you perhaps 
tried installing XCrySDen with your package manager (e.g., see [5]), 
tried installing the xc-1.5.24-linux_x86-semishared.tar.gz for 32 bit 
that is on the webpage at [1], or tried to compile the 
xcrysden-1.6.2.tar.gz from source [6] to see if one of those works 
should you be using a Linux distribution that is 32 bit?
