You have downloaded the source package. Note that source package needs
to be compiled before you run "xcConfigure". From your description, I
would presume you didn't compile it. Moreover, the "xcConfigure" is
optional now. You don't need to run it, and xcrysden should still work.

I suggest you to download one of the linux precompiled packages (that
don't need compilation). Then:

> tar zxvf ****.tar.gz
> cd ****
> ./xcrysden

This should work (**** is the name of the package and the directory that
the package is expanded to).

Final note: your log file that you mailed contain:

bash: xcrysden: command not found

which means you don't have "." in your path. In this case you should run
as: "./xcrysden"

Regards, Tone

PS: the message "more: unknown option "-m"" is really awkward, as more
is never invoked with -m option in the xcConfigure script ...
