Thank you Bill and also other helpful folks.
I should have mentioned this my original post, but when I issue the
source command (which of course is also done by the coot wrapper shell
script) I get the result: "Illegal variable name." And coot still
does not work.
Perhaps something that is also of interest is that a handful of the
icons are visible in the graphics window:
Clear pending picks
Delete item
Recover session
Map color
Bond color
Background color
Preferences
About
and a few others. However, some others have an "x" icon (like for a
missing image while many (the majority?) others simply have nothing to
replace the missing icon.
In the meantime I am using the COOT.app package from the CCP4 download
site, so if anyone knows how to save more than one session using this
installation, I would be happy to hear it.
Cheers.

Hi Jason:
For some reason that I don't understand, some users find they need
to issue the command
source /usr/local/xtal/coot/bin/init.sh
prior to issuing the command
coot
("coot" in this context actually invokes a wrapper shell script that
has that first source command in it, so that is why I don't
understand why it isn't working. If someone who is experiencing
this problem feels like trying an experiment, just edit that shell
script file /usr/local/xtal/coot/bin/coot and after the source
line, add a line like
sleep 5
before the line that invokes coot-real. I can't reproduce the
problem, so I can't test this.)
Sorry for the inconvenience.

When I migrated to my new Macbook, COOT quit working properly. The
icons/images do not appear for the majority of the GUI. I tried
all three
of the standalone binaries on Bill Scott's website. The only thing
that
works is the COOT app package from the CCP4 download site. However
with the
app package, I cannot have saved coot states for each directory
that I work in.
This same problem has been previously reported several times on
this mail
list but I could not find an answer.
Lrge list of errors on startup and they start with:

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
