Hi Luigi,
I assume you are running Open source PyMOL 2.X and tried to install the
apbsplugin.py file via the Plugin manager. I just tried this and got the
same error from the Plugin manager. I am no expert here, but I assume
this is related to the fact that this plugin uses the Tkinter GUI and
python2. This will not work with PyMOL 2.X, which is based on Qt5 and
python3. One possibility is to try to install an older PyMOL version
1.X. Very likely the heavily used apbs plugin will work. Alternatively,
use the Schrödinger PyMOL version. Even after the license has expired,
many options will still work, probably also the APBS plugin.
I do not know if anybody works on adapting important plugins such as
abps to open source PyMOL 2.X. Without such tools open source PyMOL is
limited and many users might switch to ChimeraX which has developed a lot.
Best,
Norbert

Hello,
I tried to install APBS by launching Plugin manager and giving the URL
of the app:
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/apbsplugin
The file has been written in ~/.pymol/startup but I got the error:
Plugin "apbsplugin" has been installed but initialization failed.
How do I properly launch this app? Please note I relaunched PyMol
several times.
Thank you.
