We have seen a similar error on 64-bit Debian Linux running the 32-bit version of chimera. The solution was to use the 64-bit version of chimera. If that doesn't fix your problem, please file a bug report at <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/chimera_bug_report_2.py> (we would prefer that you use chimera's Help / Report a Bug dialog, but that might not work either).

Hi all,
I wrote in once about this, and have only slowly paid attention to it due to busy schedules, kids, etc. I have build # 2576, and the darned thing pesters me for registration ;-) and still cannot connect for DL'ing PDB's from the data bank.
I have no proxy server, and this issue did not exist in earlier versions (I'm uncertain how long ago, to be honest... within a year, I believe).
The usual error notice shows up on attempted registration, and fetch attempts give a socket error about a service being unknown:
Error reading 1d66: Error during PDB fetch: [Errno socket error] (-2, 'Name or service not known')
All other Internet apps I have work well.
What else can I try to clear this up?
