Hi Kay, hi all, sorry for the -maybe- naive questions, but i'm struggling to get the GUI for XDS going. I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.4. The dmg installer and the script work nicely.
However, I have a couple of problems:: 1. I have placed the generate_XDS.INP script in the XDS directory (/Applications/XDS-OSX_64/) and it should be hence added to the PATH by the same lines that add the ads commands to the PATH. Those are the lines: export XDSPATH=/Applications/XDS-OSX_64/ export PATH=$PATH:$XDSPATH in my ~/.bashrc Indeed, the script looks accessible from wherever: Seba@host053:~> generate_XDS.INP generate_XDS.INP version 0.36 (12-June-2013) . Obtain the latest version from http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/generate_XDS.INP Seba@host053:~> However, when I load a frame in the xds-gui frame tab, and then click onto the "generate XDS.INP" button, I get a message stating: You have to install generate_XDS.INP in your Path. Could you tell me what I am missing? 2. The wiki page states that XDSgui depends on XDS-viewer. Could you tell me ho to install that on a Mac? Thanks a lot for the excellent work, ciao, Sebastiano On Jun 15, 2013, at 9:49 AM, Kay Diederichs <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I developed a GUI for academic users of XDS which is documented at > http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/XDSgui .
