According to this error it seems that you do not have xcrysden on the
PATH and in addition that you have XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR variable defined,
but pointing to a wrong directory (perhaps to an old no-more-existing
version of xcrysden). Try this:

unset XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR
pwgui


Is now the "View-->Structure with XCrySDen" menu active? If not then
the above is very likely the problem.

Best regards, Tone
