Hello,
I'm having trouble with 0.7-pre-1-4305 installed through fink on osx

I updated to fink 0.34.3 then coot 0.7-pre-1-4305.
Coot now crashes after the launch of the splash screen with the
following message:

The previous version (4303) was working perfectly (and still is on my
laptop with fink 0.34.2).
A quick google showed at least two others had found the same problem
but hadn't posted to the list.
Is there a fix?
I didn't know about this recent problem until I (too) did some googling.
I did see a ChangeLog entry from 2004:
* src/main.cc (main): Put PYTHON macroed code before GUILE, so
that python is initialized when we have --with-guile
--with-python, which deals with "Fatal Python error:
PyThreadState_Get: no current thread".
which makes me believe that I have inadvertently somehow made a similar
mistake (that is only apparent on Mac XXX). How I could have done that
and why it only fails on Mac, I don't know.
Having said that, if you have localized the problem between 4303 and
4305 (as seems to be the case), Bernhard (who is now on holiday) wrote
r4304 and r4305 - but that consists mostly of python scripting changes
(the prosmart interface, in particular).
If you feel like testing, please copy over the following python files
from your 4303 to 4305 installation:
python/user-defined-restraints.py
python/coot-utils.py
python/extension.py
fingers crossed that should help.
Paul.
