9267	make build-from-scratch fails on Linux	Tom Goddard	Zach Pearson	"Build fails on Ubuntu 22.04 trying right at the start doing distclean.

The problem seems to be that Makefile.bundle is trying to run ""devel clean"" if it finds ChimeraX has already been built. It hasn't been built but it tests if CX_BIN = /bin/chimerax exists and it does because this machine has ChimeraX 1.6.1 installed.  CX_BIN should really be ChimeraX.app/bin/chimerax but the CHIMERAX_APP variable isn't set correctly because the build ChimeraX.app directory doesn't exist yet.
