I'm going to try the fink version next. Unfortunately, there appear to be problems with the actual Python modules. I'm not entirely sure what specifically is broken, but I have to manually add /usr/local/xtal/coot/share/coot/python to sys.path, and the module formerly known as coot_python does not appear to exist any more (but is still referenced in several places). So it doesn't look like it's possible to manipulate the GUI from Python right now, although this is clearly a step in the right direction. [I can send more info to Paul/Bernhard off-list if this isn't a known problem.] thanks, Nat
