Hello all,
I am having a strange issue with PyMOLX11Hybrid application. I have
noticed that with PyMOL 1.1beta3 if you create a symlink to the
renamed X11 binary (/Applications/PyMOLX11Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/
MacPyMOL, via command 1 below) you are able to open pymol via the
command line, however I am unable to type in the main molecular
display window. Also, probably related, the MacPyMOL application
does not appear to be running when using the symlink, just that the
X11 environment loads if needed.
However, if you run the program directly (i.e. /Applications/
PyMOLX11Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL, via command 2 below), you
are able type in the main window and the MacPyMOL application is
running as well.
Seems like launching the program in 'different' (??) ways results in
different application functionality. Is there some sort of command
line arg for MacPyMOL to enable the proper environment settings?
Thanks in advance,
-Scott
symlink:
ln -s /Applications/PyMOLX11Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL /usr/
local/bin/pymol
Command 1: (not able able type in the main window, MacPyMOL does not
appear to be running either, /usr/local/bin is in my path):
~/pymol
Command 2: (everything works as expected)
/Applications/PyMOLX11Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL
