Hi All,
With Bernhard's help, I fixed this issue of render tool in Coot in Win7. I
summarize what I did here:
1.* - add C:\yourccp4installationdirectory\bin to PATH in the coot startup
script (runwincoot.bat in C:\yourwincootinstallationdirectory) *
I use Notepad to open the .bat file and do edit:
set PATH=%COOT_PREFIX%\bin;%COOT_PREFIX%\libexec;%COOT_PREFIX%\
python27;%PATH%;*C:\CCP4-7\7.**0\bin*). My CCP4 installation folder is
C:\CCP4-7\7.0\bin. To locate files, I just simply use Win7 search file from
the start menu.
*2. - edit the raster3d.py file
(C:\yourwincootinstallationdrirectory\python27\lib\site-packages\coot\)
from (line 44 or so):r3d_exe = find_exe("render", "PATH")tor3d_exe =
find_exe("render", "CCP4_BIN", "PATH")*
After I did this, Coot can find Raster3D PATH, but I still have an error of
"Some errors in Raster3D" in terminal windows and fail to render.
*3. Download:*
*https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bernhardcl/coot/master/python/raster3d.py
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bernhardcl/coot/master/python/raster3d.py>and
replace the same file (maybe make a backup first) in
C:\yourwincootinstallationdrirectory\python27\lib\site-packages\coot\*
*4. Done. Works!*
Thanks Bernhard!
