0000721: MEGA X Redhat/CentOS 7 install bugs
Hello,

I've just installed MEGA X on my main Linux machine, and ran into two small problems.

The first is that the symlink the rpm dropped into /usr/local/bin pointed at the /home build directory of the user that compiled the rpm (which doesn't exist on my system) instead of the binary located at /usr/lib64/megax/megax, preventing the program from launching after install. I deleted and recreated the symlink pointing to the correct location and the program was able to launch. Typically executables should located in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin and shared objects should be in /usr/lib64 and /usr/local/lib64.

The second is that it threw the error "failed to initialize Chromium: An operating system call failed" at startup. I tried installing chromium from yum thinking it may have been a forgotten dependency in the rpm file, but that didn't make it stop.
Install MEGA X on a CentOS machine without the user directory used to build the rpm file.
I also get these messages on the command line when closing MEGA X:

Hi Sam,

I am writing in response to the bug report you recently submitted regarding the MEGA X Software. Thanks for the feedback! We have updated the .rpm for MEGA X to correctly set the symbolic link for the launch script. The updated .rpm can be downloaded from:

https://www.megasoftware.net/releases/megax-10.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm [^]

Thanks again for your help!
