In trying to install pymol 0.86-4 (I already have 0.86-1 installed),
I was getting this this error:
------
[chem05:~] grayt% fink install pymol
sudo /sw/bin/fink install pymol
Information about 2374 packages read in 3 seconds.
Failed: Can't resolve dependency "python (= 2.2.2-4) | python-nox (=
2.2.2-3)" for package "pymol-0.86-4" (no matching packages/versions
found)
------
This was after I performed the steps given by Matt Stephenson in his
email to the pymol list on 2003-03-18 13:02.
I'm not a fink guru but it seems that pymol is looking for python
2.2.2-4 and can't find it since the version installed by fink is
2.2.2-6 (if you install python-2.2.2) or 2.3 something (if you
install python).
So, I edited the pymol-0.86-4.info file and changed the dependency on
python to = 2.2.2-5 and it seems to have compiled. I haven't tested
all the features yet, but everything I check so far works. I'm sure
this will wreck something unless the package maintainer just hasn't
tested it thoroughly yet.
One thing that motivated me to try to update was the fact that I
can't get surfaces or meshes to work right on my OS X machine
(10.2.5, Apple's X11 beta 3) even with this newest pymol. After
further trial and error it appears that surfaces work on proteins
only when I use 1024 x 768 display resolution (not the wider 1152 x
768 that I normally use on my TiBook). Is this a known issue? Also,
should I be able to create surfaces for non-protein atoms?
I'm running pymol on a Mac OS X (10.2.5) system on an old 500 MHz
PowerBook G4. I use the Apple X11 (beta 3) and the fink cvs
distribution which I just updated to 0.5.2.cvs.
Thanks for any help.
