<p>I just tried and the xcrysden semishared binary package
successfully ran on openSUSE 15.0 installed on a USB stick. So I
would expect a full openSUSE install to be no different.</p>
<p> The installation process was very similar to CentOS, Fedora, and
Ubuntu [

1. Went to:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/live/">http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/live/</a><br>
2. Downloaded:
openSUSE-Leap-15.0-GNOME-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20.21-Media.iso<br>
3. Went to: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://rufus.akeo.ie/">https://rufus.akeo.ie/</a><br>
4. Downloaded Rufus 3.1 Portable: rufus-3.1p.exe<br>
5. Used Rufus to burn the above iso to a USB stick<br>
6. Booted from the USB stick<br>
a. Selected openSUSE Leap 15.0 GNOME Live<br>
b. Connected to the Internet<br>
7. Opened a terminal and performed the following:<br>
<br>
linux@localhost:~> wget

xcrysden<br>
<br>
Your problem sounds very similar to this old post:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2010-March/000778.html">http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/xcrysden/2010-March/000778.html</a><br>
<br>
However, I don't know how they solved it.<br>
<br>
Though, I did encounter the same error of can't read
"xcrys(platform)": no such variable seen at that old post, but that
was using KDE
(openSUSE-Leap-15.0-KDE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20.21-Media.iso) instead
of GNOME. Though, it seemed to work fine after following the advice
in bug report [ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043686">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043686</a>
], i.e.:<br>
<br>
~]$ xrdb -load /dev/null<br>
~]$ xrdb -query<br>
~]$ xcrysden<br>
<br>
However, in your post, it is not clear to me how you are running
xcrysden on the cluster node. VNC connection to a GUI desktop on
the cluster? Or are you X11 forwarding the display from the cluster
to have it display on another system [
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2011-April/052647.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2011-April/052647.html</a> ,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://users.wfu.edu/natalie/s11phy752/lecturenote/PHY752lectLAPW.pdf">https://users.wfu.edu/natalie/s11phy752/lecturenote/PHY752lectLAPW.pdf</a>
]? Sometime X11 forwarding works fine, but it many cases I found
xcrysden to be very slow or hang doing X11 forwarding. Thus, I
usually preferred either the VNC connection or using xcrysden on my
local box (where I would just transfer necessary WIEN2k files from
the cluster to the local computer, then display it using xcrysden).
For latter local using files from the cluster, it can take some work
to figure out files are needed, but it is doable. I gave somewhat
of an example when I mentioned that case.struct, case.klist,
case.clmdn, case.outputkgen, and case.output1up (are needed) in one
case for displaying a fermi surface in xcrysden:<br>

Hope that helps and good luck.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have
installed the latest stable version of OpenSuse, version 15
on a node in a cluster and have found that the semi-shared
binary I was using of XCrystDen no longer works. When I
attempt to run XCrysDen, I see the splash window, but then
an error window pops up without any indications of what the
error is. I then downloaded the sourcecode to version 1.5
only to find that the make script is broken (it attempts to
download dependent libraries and the links seem to be
broken). Has anyone run into this problem before and is
there a simple solution?
