For some reason, the people doing brew have decided to stop supporting
compiling tcl-tk with X11 support. Not 100% sure, but I'm pretty certain
pymol cannot use tcl-tk with aqua.
If you already had pymol installed, this seems to eliminate the external
gui. If you didn't, new installations of pymol will now crash randomly.
Here's how I got to the old version that worked
$ cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/
$ git checkout 46e1ef94247cd2fb9555b724c05aaaa1e8907996 -- tcl-tk.rb
$ cd ../../homebrew-science/
Edit the pymol.rb file so that it depends on "tcl-tk" instead of
"homebrew/dupes/tcl-tk"
$ brew remove tcl-tk python pymol
$ brew install pymol
$ brew pin tcl-tk
Really, I uninstalled all my homebrew packages and then reinstalled
everything because some of their changes over the last 6 months had made
things oddly broken. If you want to do the same, you can try this:
$ brew list > installed
$ <installed xargs brew remove
$ brew cleanup
$ <installed xargs brew install
