Re: [PyMOL] plug-ins on Mac OSX - X11?

[DeLano S. <de...@de...>]

Frieda,
 
We too have experienced problems ourselves attempting to install X11 on
Macintosh computers that have been patched since the original Mac OS X
install.  The only sure fix we know of is to do a clean OS install from the
original CD, being sure to select the X11 option, which is not enabled by
default.  Once X11 is installed, then subsequent updates can safely be
reinstalled.
 
Perhaps someone else on the mailing list knows of an alternate way of
getting X11 onto an existing Mac?

Dear PyMOL users, 

I am a newcomer to this list and largely to PyMOL. I have a lot of
experience with Jmol since my work is oriented toward publishing on the web.

I would like to be able to generate surface MEP coloring in PyMOL for
proteins. I'm on Mac OSX 10.4, and I've downloaded/installed APBS and the
APBS plug-in for PyMOL. Then I realized I had to install X11, so I found my
original OSX 10.4 install discs, and have tried installing X11 three times
with no luck (twice tried a custom install of X11 only, the third time I bit
the bullet and installed the entire Xcode tools package. Still no sign of
X11 on my machine.) Has anyone experienced this and found a way to deal with
it?

I have already changed the name of MacPyMol.app to PyMolX11Hybrid.app, as
per the instructions on the web site, but when I open the newly named pymol
app, it asks me where X11 is...

Thanks in advance,
Frieda
