Thanks, this sounds do-able at some point. It will take me a few days
to get to this. In the meantime, if someone knows of another
solution, I'm all ears...
BTW, if I can access a Windows machine, is this an easier process? On
the "Obtain" web page, there seems to be only one Win (complied)
version. Does a PyMOL license entitle one to use a Win version of
PyMOL as well as Mac?

Frieda,
We too have experienced problems ourselves attempting to install
X11 on Macintosh computers that have been patched since the
original Mac OS X install. The only sure fix we know of is to do a
clean OS install from the original CD, being sure to select the X11
option, which is not enabled by default. Once X11 is installed,
then subsequent updates can safely be reinstalled.
Perhaps someone else on the mailing list knows of an alternate way
of getting X11 onto an existing Mac?

Subject: [PyMOL] plug-ins on Mac OSX - X11?
Dear PyMOL users,
I am a newcomer to this list and largely to PyMOL. I have a lot of
experience with Jmol since my work is oriented toward publishing on
the web.
I would like to be able to generate surface MEP coloring in PyMOL
for proteins. I'm on Mac OSX 10.4, and I've downloaded/installed
APBS and the APBS plug-in for PyMOL. Then I realized I had to
install X11, so I found my original OSX 10.4 install discs, and
have tried installing X11 three times with no luck (twice tried a
custom install of X11 only, the third time I bit the bullet and
installed the entire Xcode tools package. Still no sign of X11 on
my machine.) Has anyone experienced this and found a way to deal
with it?
I have already changed the name of MacPyMol.app to
PyMolX11Hybrid.app, as per the instructions on the web site, but
when I open the newly named pymol app, it asks me where X11 is...
Thanks in advance,
Frieda
