Hi all, I understand that this is not a typical use of chimera, so I don't expect much support, but I would appreciate if someone can give me a clue to solve the issue... We have a GNU/Linux server (Debian wheezy) with some EM software installed on it. One of these programs calls at some point chimera to show something on which the user has to act upon (or just check, not sure, I'm not the user as you've guessed) This machine is accessed from client OSX machines via ssh. All permissions are set so X11 is seamlessly tunnelled between them (checked with many graphical programs) Now, for a OSX client running on 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and using Apple's X11 the whole process works without problems. But for a OSX on 10.7.5 (lion) with a parallel installation of Apple's X11 and Xquartz 2.7.5 the first small window opens and then the chimera process hangs (it can be killed via Ctrl-C, which returns the control to the program that launched chimera and things can proceed, though without the information provided by chimera) If I connect to the Linux server from the lion machine and directly execute chimera I make a different observation: the first small window opens but then chimera crashes leaving this error in the terminal: Error of failed request: GLXBadCurrentWindow Major opcode of failed request: 149 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 1360 Current serial number in output stream: 1360 Now, I would appreciate any clues on the meaning and possible solution of this error or at least any directions on how to properly remove both Apple's X11 and Xquartz (they are supposed to be able to work side-by-side but I presume that a possible source of problems could arise from some conflict between them) AND re-install them to test them in a fresh install. Downgrading the lion machine to snow leopard does not seem to be an option... Thank you!
