[xcrysden] Running XCrySDen

[Gavin Abo]

I see that you have the error "libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory".


 From the message, it looks like XCrySDen cannot find the libtk8.6.so file.


That file should be in your /lib64 directory:


username at fedora:~$ ls -l /lib64/libtk8.6.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1343528 Jan 26  2024 /lib64/libtk8.6.so


If it isn't, the package for it might not be installed.


In Fedora 40, it was likely installed by the command:


sudo yum install tk-devel


Kind Regards,

Gavin
