Pymol @1.7.1.1on Yosemite

[sean.connell@…]

Hello I am have problems running pymol @1.7.1.1 under Mac OS X 10.10. I was first using a version that worked under OS X 10.9 but after the upgrade it failed with this error:

 Detected OpenGL version 2.0 or greater. Shaders available.
 Detected GLSL version 1.20.
 OpenGL graphics engine:
  GL_VENDOR:   NVIDIA Corporation
  GL_RENDERER: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M OpenGL Engine
  GL_VERSION:  2.1 NVIDIA-10.0.43 310.41.05f01
Mac OS X 10.10000 or later required !
Abort trap: 6

Then following the instructions on mac port I tried to remove and reinstall pymol with:

sudo port uninstall pymol
sudo port install pymol

and now the installation files with:

Error: org.macports.destroot for port pymol returned: error copying "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_science_pymol/pymol/work/pymol/setup/pymol_macports" to "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_science_pymol/pymol/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/pymol": file already exists

Hi. I think I know the cause of the abort trap problem.

Two seconds of searching seems to indicate that PyMOL uses Tkinter. A bug has recently been filed in Tk for Yosemite - ​http://core.tcl.tk/tk/info/1d37c3e16616a0e6283ef390272f0cf483b74b5f - which produces the same error.

While I feel the pain of this problem, I'm not sure how it can be solved. If it's a problem in Tk itself, then it may be outside the scope of MacPorts. Hoping that someone else can provide a suggestion or hope of a solution.

Turns out that the Tk bug was filed in relation to MacPorts ticket #45444

The reason why you get an error copying is presumably that you did not ​run "sudo port clean pymol" before trying to install it.

Let’s call this a duplicate of #45444 then.

Sorry but I don't think this is really solved; I tried updating tk to the latest supposedly fixed version:

$ sudo port info tk
tk @8.6.1_2 (x11)

then clean and install:

$ sudo port selfupdate; sudo port clean pymol; sudo port install pymol

MacPorts base version 2.3.2 downloaded.

--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated

am I doing something wrong?

Care to help with this? I'm most probably not the only one still having this problem. Thanks!

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

This is a different problem, for which #45401 is already open. Let’s keep this ticket closed.

oh, sorry, I hadn't noticed. Thanks for Cc-ing me!
