Hi,
I was trying to find out how to locate and use the APBS plug-in for
MacPyMOL and when I mailed to the APBS-users list I was advised to
rename MacPyMOL.app to PyMOLX11Hybrid.app which would make the APBS
plug-in work in PyMOL.
I tried following this suggestion and being a complete novice in this
field I might be missing some simple points here or making some silly
mistakes. I would be really grateful if you share your thoughts with me.
My issue is that once i rename MacPyMOL.app to PyMOLX11Hybrid.app I
end up opening a version of PyMOL that has the the top area or the
"External GUI" missing. Only the bottom window containing the
"Internal GUI" opens up. Since the external GUI has all the user
friendly menu bars for a layman like me it is more familiar and
easier to work with. The internal GUI has the secondary command line
and it would be almost impossible for a person like me to work using
this only. I am wondering if the PyMOLX11 version works only with
commands only?
Or, is it something that I have done that made the external GUI
disappear!!
This is what i did........when i tried opening the PyMOLX11Hybrid on
my Mac, it asked me to choose an application and asked for the
location of "X11". I specified it from the applications folder and it
opened up w/o the external GUI.
W/o the external GUI i cannot access the wizard menu to access the
APBS tools.... what am i saying, w/o it I cannot even open a file now!!!
I do not have multiple monitors connected to my computer and I am not
using Leopard with spaces enabled. I cannot figure out why the top
GUI is missing from my screen!
Is there a way to bring it back?
Please help.
Thanks
