I'd like to experiment with the rTools 0.5.2 package with PyMol0.88

working so they could provide some directions?
Hello Richard,
Just after 0.88 was released I installed the rTools package under OSX
(10.2.6), and it seems to work just fine.
Here is a log of what I did (you'll obviously need to modify the file
paths depending on where you unpack the rTools distribution etc.):
OSX> cd /sw/lib/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/startup
OSX> sudo cp
/Users/luca/applications/PyMOL/Extensions/rtools/rTools0.5.2/rubor.py .
OSX> sudo mkdir rubor
OSX> cd rubor
OSX> sudo mkdir scripts
OSX> sudo cp
/Users/luca/applications/PyMOL/Extensions/rtools/rTools0.5.2/rubor/* .
OSX> sudo cp
/Users/luca/applications/PyMOL/Extensions/rtools/rTools0.5.2/rubor/
scripts/* scripts/
OSX> sudo mkdir /pdb
OSX> sudo chmod 775 /pdb
To test, start xpymol (i.e. the Fink version of the program), and issue
this command:
PyMOL>pdb 1cse
the above should fetch the PDB file for entry 1CSE and put it in
/pdb/cs/
OSX> cd /sw/lib/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/startup/rubor/scripts
OSX> sudo cp /pdb/cs/pdb1cse.ent ./1cse.ent
OSX> sudo chmod 644 1cse.ent
and finally edit the single line of file 1cse.pml as follows:
OSX> sudo vi 1cse.pml
load /sw/lib/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/startup/rubor/scripts/1cse.ent
now you can automatically load entry 1CSE from ScriptBox within rTools.
Hope this helps!
Good luck, Luca
