1181	ChimeraX on CentOS 7	jameskizziah@…	Greg Couch	"{{{
Hello,

While attempting to establish ChimeraX (using the most recent daily build)
on our CentOS 7 workstation, I have already downloaded and located the
necessary libraries as described in the Linux download notes.

Though this resolved the relevant error referenced in the notes, I am now
receiving the following error:
