Dear Pymol experts, This is a suplement to my previous email. I was asking how to launch pymol from python without external GUI. I found how to do this, which was apparently explained in "examples/launching" directory of the pymol distribution...
As I mentioned in my previous email, python segmentation fault occurs only when I launch pymol with external GUI. Without external gui, it works fine. I wonder if pymol starts the external gui before pymol.finish_launching()???? I am very new to pymol and therefore no idea what's going on? It would be nice to have the external gui. Hence,I am still interested in any solution to this problem. thanks, 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 ******************************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: Taner Yildirim To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 4:51 PM Subject: pymol launching problems from python??? 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 ********************************************************************
