After downloading the Xcrysden 1.6.2, i extracted it to a folder and tried to run the software by using the command:
[pc@fedora xcrysden-1.6.2]$ ./xcrysden

Then i got the output as:

I am facing this problem for a long. I have worked a lot to figure it out but till now, i have been clueless.

Kindly, look into it and suggest the possible way which can fix it.

Thank you.

Please note that xcrysden is not developed by the VASP Software GmbH so unfortunately we cannot offer support installing it. Perhaps some other user has experience with this tool and can assist you. Depending on what you want to do with the software VESTA or py4vasp may offer similar functionality.
