[PyMOL] compiled Pymol on MacOSX , The Pmw menu window does not open properly and Python Icon bouncing on dock

[hari j. <ha...@gm...>]

Hi ,
Because I wanted to use some of the Python API commands in scripts I wanted
to install a distutils build of Pymol on my Snow Leopard System running
10.6.2 .
I am using the svn version  3897.

After I installed Pmw and added the fontconfig.h containing directory to my
INCLUDE path and added other dylibs from /usr/X11R6/lib  to my include path
, I finally got the build process to complete fine and I was able to get the
pymol dark background cmd window to popup just fine . However the Pmw window
did not appear and the system either crashed or the Python icon kept
bouncing up and down and a crummily ghost-like Pmw window appeared briefly.

When it did crash it gave me the error:

Tk_MacOSXSetupTkNotifier: first [load] of TkAqua has to occur in the main
thread!

I know this is all because the cmd window is already up and there cannot be
two GUI threads going and have seen some posts from Bill Scott about this
issue , but can anyone help me troubleshoot this build.

I want to start using the subversion builds instead of the MacPymol.App and
am sure I can get over this building problem.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Hari

Do you know about the fink builds of pymol?
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/pymol-py26  .  You might
have more success modifying that package to pull the source from
subversion.

Hi David,
I agree fink makes it easy. But, I am trying to avoid fink , only because I
want to stay with the bleeding edge subversion build. Not to mention the
fact that my disk is always near to full and I can use every gig I can save.
