[xcrysden] cannot start XCRYSDEN

[Elie Albert Moujaes]

Dear Tone,

Thanks very much for your suggestion. I have actually restarted the whole 
procedure again and untarred the XCRYSDEN-1.5.24-src-all version and when I 
typed ./xcrysden I got the error:
./xcrysden: line 165: /XCrySDen-1.5.24-src-all/scripts/xcLib.sh: file or 
directory not found but when I check the scripts folder the file is actually 
there.. XCRYSDEN is not finding it for some reason. I know I have bothered you 
with this a lot but i am a Linux newbee. I need to know whatcan I do to 
resolve the problem


Thanks in advance
