Asunto: Re: [xcrysden] Running XCrySDen


XCrySDen 1.6.2 works with Fedora 40 when libtk8.6.so from the operating system tk-devel package is used.


I've not tried libtk8.6.so from Intel's OneAPI.  That library file likely was compiled with the Intel compiler. So, it might be that the file has different function declarations than that produced by GCC.  That might explain why you would need the libtk8.6.so from the operating system package that was compiled with GCC for being able to use xcrysden-1.6.2-linux_x86_64-shared.tar.gz.


Thus, if you wanted to use /opt/intel/oneapi/intelpython/python3.9/lib/libtk8.6.so (instead of /lib64/libtk8.6.so), it is likely that you would need to compile XCrySDen using xcrysden-1.6.2.tar.gz and you would need to modify Make.sys yourself to use the OneAPI compiler.  Since that is probably a more difficult approach, I would recommend using the operating system version of libtk8.6.so instead.


For that, at [1], the webpage shows the Fedora 40 operating system tk-devel package. The tk-devel package when installed puts libtk.so (i.e., libtk8.6.so) also in the directory:


/usr/lib64/


With Fedora 40, when I checked that directory, the libtk8.6.so was there:


username at fedora:~$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libtk*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1343528 Jan 26  2024 /usr/lib64/libtk8.6.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      11 Jan 26  2024 /usr/lib64/libtk.so -> libtk8.6.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root    6640 Jan 26  2024 /usr/lib64/libtkstub8.6.a


When the tk-devel package has been successfully installed, the terminal should show the same or similar terminal display of:


username at fedora:~$ sudo yum install tk-devel
[sudo] password for username:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:27:44 ago on Thu 29 Aug 2024 09:16:34 PM MDT.
Package tk-devel-1:8.6.13-3.fc40.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Asunto: Re: [xcrysden] Running XCrySDen


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

Gavin

There was a Fedora user that reported that error before:


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


In their case, the issue came from using a 32 bit Togl file. Looks like 
they resolved it by using a 64 bit version:


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


Using xcrysden-1.6.2.tar.gz, the install went smoothly for me:


http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2024-August/002139.html


Using xcrysden-1.6.2-linux_x86_64-shared.tar.gz also worked. However, I 
still had to install Togl with:

Asunto: Re: [xcrysden] Running XCrySDen


XCrySDen 1.6.2 works with Fedora 40 when libtk8.6.so from the operating system tk-devel package is used.


I've not tried libtk8.6.so from Intel's OneAPI.  That library file likely was compiled with the Intel compiler. So, it might be that the file has different function declarations than that produced by GCC.  That might explain why you would need the libtk8.6.so from the operating system package that was compiled with GCC for being able to use xcrysden-1.6.2-linux_x86_64-shared.tar.gz.


Thus, if you wanted to use /opt/intel/oneapi/intelpython/python3.9/lib/libtk8.6.so (instead of /lib64/libtk8.6.so), it is likely that you would need to compile XCrySDen using xcrysden-1.6.2.tar.gz and you would need to modify Make.sys yourself to use the OneAPI compiler.  Since that is probably a more difficult approach, I would recommend using the operating system version of libtk8.6.so instead.


For that, at [1], the webpage shows the Fedora 40 operating system tk-devel package. The tk-devel package when installed puts libtk.so (i.e., libtk8.6.so) also in the directory:


/usr/lib64/


With Fedora 40, when I checked that directory, the libtk8.6.so was there:


username at fedora:~$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libtk*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1343528 Jan 26  2024 /usr/lib64/libtk8.6.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      11 Jan 26  2024 /usr/lib64/libtk.so -> libtk8.6.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root    6640 Jan 26  2024 /usr/lib64/libtkstub8.6.a


When the tk-devel package has been successfully installed, the terminal should show the same or similar terminal display of:


username at fedora:~$ sudo yum install tk-devel
[sudo] password for username:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:27:44 ago on Thu 29 Aug 2024 09:16:34 PM MDT.
Package tk-devel-1:8.6.13-3.fc40.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Asunto: Re: [xcrysden] Running XCrySDen


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

Gavin

Hello,
In the Summer I successfully installed xcrysden 1.6.2 on 9 Windows 11 laptops via cygwin. Xcrysden was running fine for all of them for 2 months.  However, 3 of them are now having issues. Xcrysden is not launching, it does not give any error and just hangs in there. I have no clue what is happening. I would like to know if it is possible to solve this problem without uninstalling it and reinstalling it because installing Xming and Cygwin at my institution requires permissions that may take weeks to obtain.
Thank you very much for your attention,

Was there a Windows 11 update that could of caused it?? If you open 
"About Your PC", do the ones the work and not work have the same or 
different OS build?


Was there any change to the installed cygwin packages?


If you check the .bashrc file on a system that works and doesn't work, 
are they the same?


Any other changes you can think of?? Systems all running the same Xming 
version?

Thank you so much for your prompt response.
Yes, at least 7 have the same OS. The updates of Windows take place automatically in all of them because they are all under the control of my institution.

The installation was completed almost at the same time using the same cygwin package. After installation, we tested that xcrysden was working correctly. After that we did not change anything. In fact, we have no permission to modify any program.

We used the same setting in the .bashrc file. However, since students have access to that one, just in case, I copied the .bashrc from one of the computers to the other computer and now at least got an error.
Running on platform : unix
Operating system : CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22621
Package ImageMagick's convert: /usr/bin/convert
Package ImageMagick's import: /usr/bin/import
Executing: /xcrysden-1.6.2-bin-shared/bin/ftnunit
libGL error: Windows-DRI extension not available
Viewer: mesaWid = .mesa

But I noticed that such error appears in the other computers too and xcrysden launches and can be used anyway.

In the computer where xcrysden is not launching, after printing "Viewer: mesaWid = .mesa" it does not abort, it just hangs in there.

I cannot figure out why these computers are failing. The only common thing is that 2 out 3 of the computers were not used by students after we tested them.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thank you very much!

With them being managed by your institution, I suspect they are 
administrating the group policies and firewalls on the laptops too.? 
Have your admin check those as that is another possibility were they 
could have blocked the X11 forwarding or they could have a different set 
of security policies pushed to the laptops.

Thank you. Yes, it must have been something with Xming. I was not able to get hold of the administrators because the campus was closed since Thursday because of the storm. However, today while trying to test Xming, I decided to reboot the machine manually and that resolved the issue. Thank you so much for your help and patience.

With them being managed by your institution, I suspect they are administrating the group policies and firewalls on the laptops too.

Yes, at least 7 have the same OS. The updates of Windows take place automatically in all of them because they are all under the control of my institution.

The installation was completed almost at the same time using the same cygwin package. After installation, we tested that xcrysden was working correctly. After that we did not change anything. In fact, we have no permission to modify any program.

We used the same setting in the .bashrc file. However, since students have access to that one, just in case, I copied the .bashrc from one of the computers to the other computer and now at least got an error.
Running on platform : unix
Operating system : CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22621
Package ImageMagick's convert: /usr/bin/convert
Package ImageMagick's import: /usr/bin/import
Executing: /xcrysden-1.6.2-bin-shared/bin/ftnunit
libGL error: Windows-DRI extension not available
Viewer: mesaWid = .mesa

But I noticed that such error appears in the other computers too and xcrysden launches and can be used anyway.

In the computer where xcrysden is not launching, after printing "Viewer: mesaWid = .mesa" it does not abort, it just hangs in there.

I cannot figure out why these computers are failing. The only common thing is that 2 out 3 of the computers were not used by students after we tested them.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thank you very much!

Was there a Windows 11 update that could of caused it?  If you open "About Your PC", do the ones the work and not work have the same or different OS build?


Was there any change to the installed cygwin packages?


If you check the .bashrc file on a system that works and doesn't work, are they the same?


Any other changes you can think of?  Systems all running the same Xming version?


Kind Regards,
