Hi Tom and Greg, Thank you very much for your help. It works now. I tried out the lines you have shown. It did work. I can produce the image I need. To see what was the problem, I test line by line in this script ( https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/basicPrimer.html). The problem came from "rc("preset <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/preset.html> apply publication 1")". Here I post the debugging backtrace information I got. It seems related to the swrast rendering lib. Though my problem solved, it will be good to know the reason of this too. Thank you again for your informative help.

Works for me :-)
I just tried the headless version of Chimera on CentOS 7.5. I didn't use a script, but did the following commands: open 6c7m windowsize 512 512 surf copy file test.png stop
And it created the image file and exited without a problem.
So it is unclear what the problem is. You'll need to run gdb to find out where the segmentation fault occured. Create a debugging version of the chimera program script, and change the 'exec $python' at the end to 'gdb $python', run it, and then in gdb, 'run $CHIMERA/share/__main__.py chimera_surface.py'. When chimera segmentation faults, type 'bt' to get a backtrace and send it to me.
FYI, the headless version of Chimera comes with libOSMesa, so you don't need to install it. But it shouldn't cause problems if you did. The libOSMesa distributed with chimera is ancient, version 7.6.1. So, if the backtrace shows that the bug is in libOSMesa, there's a good chance that if you replace chimera's libOSMesa.so with the system version, it will work.
Good luck,
Greg

Hi,
I am trying to using headless Chimera on RedHat linux server 7.3 to produce some images. But I end up with a segmentation fault. Does anyone have an idea how it comes to this? The headless chimera is from https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html (64-bit daily build). The test code was taken without changes from https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/basicPrimer.html. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Calculation of some surface components failed.
A single component of the surface was calculated correctly - the failure occurred for disconnected additional components such as inside bubbles. If the desired surface is already shown, there is no need for concern. However, if it is not shown, see below for possible fixes.
Surface calculation frequently fails for large, multi-chain structures. The calculation may be successful if the chains are treated individually, by using the "split" command before generating a surface. If splitting is not desired or the structure is already a single chain, changing molecular surface parameters in the Selection Inspector or (before surface creation) the New Surfaces category of Preferences may allow the calculation to succeed.
