CSD Python API not working on RHEL 9

Solution

There is a known issue where the version of python which is bundled with the CSD Portfolio will not run on RHEL 9 and clones. This is caused by incompatible libraries and the workaround is to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before starting the Python session.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/CCDC/ccdc-software/csd-python-api/miniconda/lib

Change the path to the CCDC folder if necessary.

To use scripts in Mercury or Hermes, you will instead need to do the following prior to starting these programs at the command line:

 LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/libkrb5support.so.0:/lib64/libkrb5.so.3 ~/CCDC/ccdc-software/mercury/bin/mercury
