Re: [PyMOL] running PyMOL remotely - how to do it without GUI

[Lihua W. <lh...@br...>]

Hi Fred,

I think the error has nothing to do with PyMOL. If you want to show GUI of 
an application on a remote machine, you will need some x-windows system.

If your both your remote and local systems are UNIX/LINUX/IRIX/SUN, you 
can use the "xhost remote_address" command before you launch the 
application. If your local machine is windows based, then you need a 3rd 
party software, e.g. x-win32 or hummingbird exceed.
