Hi, I have loaded PHenix 1.24 onto a system with Fedora Core 5 (ix86_64). THe computer has an AMD X2_64 4400+ processor, 2 GB RAM, 3X120GB Sata HDs, ASUS A8N-Sli Premium Mobo, and an Nvidia 7600 GT graphics card. When I install PHenix, everything seems to load okay, except it seems to take a bit longer to install than with RHEL3 did, stalling for bit on one of the modules (sorry, can't remember which one exactly). Then after a while, the installation completes without any errors and I setup the environment as instructed for /bin/bash. I then type [phenix] to start the program, but again nothing happens for a very long time (30 minutes or more), and then the Phenix interface finally loads. But then, everything is very sluggish and takes a very long time to load or even stops responding (setup/parameter windows in particular). I have installed Phenix 1.24 on RHEL3 and not experienced any of these problems, so I am a bit clueless. FUrther, I am a Linux 'newbie' and this was my first time installing Fedora Core 5 (64), so it is possible that i haven't installed everything that Phenix needs, yet I did not experience any problems at all with the FC5 installation, ran smoothly. If you have any suggestions or insights as to what my problem or mistake may be, I thank you in advance for your feedback and assistance. I am eager to get Phenix purring away on my latest PC. Cheers, Nick the environment as instructed for /bin/bash.
