Re: [PyMOL] Install pymol on OSX easier than ever

[Camilo A. J. C. <cam...@gm...>]

Hi all

This option to install pymol is great!. However, I tried to install it in
my 10.8.2 with xquartz intalled and it was crashing.

For it to run well, you need to enable threads, do:

brew uninstall tcl
brew uninstall tk
brew uninstall python
brew install tk  --enable-threads
brew install tcl  --enable-threads
brew install python --with-brewed-tk
