[PyMOL] Pymol on MacMini: performances
Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying a Mac mini to use as minimal computer for home, and will need it to run pymol smoothly. is this the case, or the little machine doesn't have enough juice to handle, let's say, visualisation of a protein active site and ligand docked into it, with different level of transparence and such? I need pymol essentially to look at my structure and generate pretty pictures for my phD thesis... many thanks to anyone can give insights... luca -- S for stupendous! T for Tiger, ferocity of!

Re: [PyMOL] Pymol on MacMini: performances
Hi, I can run pymol smoothly on my celeron-m 1.3ghz laptop with intel i855gmch embedded graphics chip. This has no dedicated memory and uses a portion of the 512MB system ram for graphics processing. The specs say that mac mini's come standard with ati r9200 with 32mb *dedicated* ram for graphics so you should have no problems. In general a dedicated ati or nvidia chip has more opengl capabilities than embedded intel or sis graphics chips. A $50 upgrade to 512MB would help tremendously however. Hope that helps, Sabuj Pattanayek Luca Fenu wrote: Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying a Mac mini to use as minimal computer for home, and will need it to run pymol smoothly. is this the case, or the little machine doesn't have enough juice to handle, let's say, visualisation of a protein active site and ligand docked into it, with different level of transparence and such?

[PyMOL] background color
Hi, all, I am trying to change the color of the background in pymol. I know I can change the background color from menu to white, black, light grey and grey. But I want some other color. set bg_rgb, [51,153,153] or set_color newcolor=[51,153,153] bg_color newcolor but none of them worked. The background just turned to white. What did I do wrong? Thanks.

Jianghai, Try dividing all those numbers by 255.0 -- then it will work. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist . DeLano Scientific LLC . 400 Oyster Point Blvd., Suite 213 .

Adding the following to the beginning of the shell script fixed the problem: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib It doesn't on my installation, which is about a year old and under 10.3. More importantly, it shouldn't. Meddling with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH other than temporarily for debugging purposes is a good recipe to break a MacOS X system. Your problem with PyMOL is a perfect illustration. Did you consider submitting a bug report to the Fink team?
