[xcrysden] Xcrysden not opening with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

[Tone Kokalj]

Dear Suraj,

You can try to uncomment the "#set toglOpt(accum) false" line in the
custom-definitions file, i.e., create the $USER/.xcrysden directory and
copy the custom-definitions file into it and then edit the file. 

In the Ubuntu version, the file is located in
/usr/share/xcrysden/Tcl/custom-definitions

For example:

cd
mkdir .xcrysden
cd .xcrysden
cp /usr/share/xcrysden/Tcl/custom-definitions .

and edit the file by uncommenting the "#set toglOpt(accum)  false"
line. 

Best regards,
Tone
