[Apbs-users] ObjectMapLoadDXFile-Error:Unable to open file!

[Thomas J. <jue...@gm...>]

Dear all,

smiliar to Jeff Urbauer on Oct 18 I get "ObjectMapLoadDXFile-Error:
Unable to open file!"
error. I am using WindowsXP with the most recent patches. Both pymol
(1.0edu1) and apbs (0.5.1)are fresh and clean installations.
APBS is installed in D:\APBS-0.5.1

The first time I tried to run it it the error message was simply
"ObjectMapLoadDXFile-Error:  Unable to open file!"
Now the second time it pops up an error log:

Error: 1
WindowsError Exception in Tk callback

WindowsError: [Errno 123] The filename, directory name, or volume
label syntax is incorrect: 'd:APBS-0.5.1\\bin\\d:APBS-0.5.1\\bin/*.*'

I experienced similiar problems on another Windows machine and a Mac,
but both without the error log above.
I was realizing that when choosing the location of apbs binary pymol
writes: d:APBS-0.5.1 where it should be d:\APBS-0.5.1
I tried to put the correct path manually d:\APBS-0.5.1\bin\apbs.exe,
but did not help.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Thomas
