Hi JD,
I tested solvating 1gcn with the Windows daily build and it worked fine.  You shouldn't need to install all those things you tried.  You have to realize that when Chimera runs sleap that various environment variables are set that will cause sleap to find files that it won't find it you run it standalone without those environment variables set.
Can you try installing a "clean" version of the daily build and see if you can solvate 1gcn (4 angstrom box) without error?  If you get an error, save the contents of the reply log and mail it to me.  If you don't get an error then try your structure.  If that fails, you will have to send it to me if I'm going to have a chance to debug the problem...

Dear all,

I tried yesterday's build on windows and tested the solvation plugin.
I had a first crash that reply log message I give here:

command:  ['C:\\Archivos de
programa\\Chimera\\bin\\amber10\\exe\\sleap', '-f',
'd:\\docume~1\\jean\\config~1\\temp\\tmp7wpvvm\\solvate.cmd']
Running sleap command: C:\Archivos de
programa\Chimera\bin\amber10\exe\sleap -f
d:\docume~1\jean\config~1\temp\tmp7wpvvm\solvate.cmd
Failure running sleap
Check reply log for details

Running C:\Archivos de programa\Chimera\bin\amber10\exe\sleap alone, I saw
that cygwin1.dll was missing. So I installed it in the same directory.

Then came a second crash:

tempDir:  d:\docume~1\jean\config~1\temp\tmp6m0sm0
command:  ['C:\\Archivos de
programa\\Chimera\\bin\\amber10\\exe\\sleap', '-f',
'd:\\docume~1\\jean\\config~1\\temp\\tmp6m0sm0\\solvate.cmd']
Running sleap command: C:\Archivos de
programa\Chimera\bin\amber10\exe\sleap -f
d:\docume~1\jean\config~1\temp\tmp6m0sm0\solvate.cmd
(solvate) [gtkleap]$ source leaprc.ff03
(solvate) Error: can not find file leaprc.ff03 in all the search
path.
Failure running sleap
Check reply log for details

Though I located the leaprc.ff03 file in another directory and copied it in
the running one, I can not pass over this problem.

All the best!

JD
