#39 bin/xmipp_browser crashes with Tkinter error

[Frank Thommen]

Hi all,

when running xmipp_browser (installed from sources) and then click on any file or directory in the selection list, the browser immediately crashes:

bash-3.2$ xb

The zipped build directory is attached

Can you rebuild tcltk, python and python modules with...

./install.sh disable_all tcltk=true python=true pymodules=true

...and post the build. There is any kind of allocation problem that is very strange, because tcl/tk configure and make files don't say error at all during compilation. It would be also great to have your bin/xmipp_python and .xmipp_scons.options files just to check everything's fine there.
