Thanks, Athemis - that worked like a charm.

@rogala: For a quick workaround, go into /opt/ucsf-chimera/lib and delete all instances of libfreetype and libz:

cd /opt/ucsf-chimera/lib
sudo rm libfreetype.* libz.*

This will force chimera to use your system libraries instead of the ones shipped with chimera. Everything should work as expected afterwards (for both chimera 1.11 and 1.12). The PKGBUILD may also be adapted to remove those libraries from the package.

Updated PKGBUILD here: https://gist.github.com/Athemis/add039dac65f9675d3a81d176c5f55ce

Hi Guys - this package is very useful - thank you for maintaining it. Can we please get an update to the latest version though? Also, for some reason, after the latest arch 4.16.4 update, I get the following error:

File "/opt/ucsf-chimera/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in <module> import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var error: command failed to execute correctly</module>

Any help would be much appreciated!

The pkgrel is not a part of the version, it is the version of the PKGBUILD. A pkgrel bump represents a bump in the version of packaging, not the packaged software itself. In addition, 1.11.2 is a release candidate, and not yet stable.

PKGBUILD is missing '.${pkgrel}' after '${pkgver}' in the definitions of '_file' to be able to download the right file. Also, version 1.11.2 has been released.

There is a little mistake in .install file: post_install() { /opt/chimera/bin/xdg-setup install # ucsf-chimera instead of chimera } @confusedfla: Nice approach. But it misses i686 arch support. This might work: if [ "$CARCH" = 'x86_64' ]; then _name="chimera-${pkgver}-linux_x84_64.bin" _file="linux_x84_64%2F${_name}&choice=Accept" elif [ "$CARCH" = 'i686' ]; then _name="chimera-${pkgver}-linux.bin" _file="linux%2F${_name}&choice=Accept" fi Also IHMO it would be better to replace wget with curl because it's not present in Arch's base packages group: curl $_url -o $_name Regards.

That is sad to hear. Btw I fixed the extracting of the SFX archives. Somehow the "-d" flag doesnt work anymore, however piping the directory on stdin works fine :) So this PKGBUILD should create a working package. http://sprunge.us/HGTP

So I've contacted upstream and I was told I'd get a message from the developer responsible for the website, however that has not happened. I'll see about implementing something similar to @confusedfla's approach today.
