[xcrysden] Trouble installing, running

[Gavin Abo]

Yes, the recent binary packages on the xcrysden website were compiled 
against 8.5, such that they only support 8.5.

Have you tried the Semishared binary 
(xcrysden-1.5.60-linux_x86_64-semishared.tar.gz if your Fedora is 64 bit 
or xc-1.5.24-linux_x86-semishared.tar.gz if your Fedora is 32 bit) [ 
http://www.xcrysden.org/Download.html ]?  The semishared package is 
statically linked and includes the tk8.5 library files; so you shouldn't 
need to install tk8.5 unlike the shared package that it looks like you 
were trying to use.
