Dear PyMol Experts, I am quite new in pymol. I have just installed python 2.3.2 and pymol-0.93 using "python setup.py" (i.e. pymol was installed in site-packages of python). I am using RedHat 8.0 on a dual Xeon system.
Here's the problems that I am getting: (1) Case 1: >>> import pymol >>> pymol.finish_launching() >>> Segmentation fault (core dumped) (2) Case 2: >>> from pymol import cmd after couple of seconds, it crashes again with the following error: >>> Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked Abort Interestingly after ">>> from pymol import cmd", I can use the external gui, run demos, etc. However as soon as I move my mouse over the python shell, the program aborts and gives the "Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked"??? I have a feeling that this error is related to the external GUI application. Is it possible to disable the external gui when I lounch pymol from python? I really appreciate any help you can provide me. At first I was very excited about using pymol in my research but now I am getting a little bit frustrated. I need to find a way to launch pymol from python without segmentation fault... thanks alot, best Taner ******************************************************************** Dr. Taner Yildirim, Ph.D. Physicist, Condensed Matter Science Group, ta...@nist.gov NIST Center for Neutron Research, PHONE: 301-975-6228 National Institute of Standards & Technology FAX : 301-921-9847 Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8562 Web : http://webster.ncnr.nist.gov/staff/taner ********************************************************************
