Hi Jon, Maybe the trick is Chimera uses environment variable DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Here's the Chimera Mac start-up C++ code that sets the environment variables http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/browser/trunk/dist/mac/chimera-aqua.c... and a comment on this code change says "Use DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH instead of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, so system frameworks will get system versions of shared libraries."

Hello,
I am currently trying to import Chimera modules into a non-Chimera python installation. I have referenced previous messages from this mailing list (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2009-March/003620.html), and have added the relevant paths to Chimera in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, and CHIMERA environment variables.
However when I try to import Chimera, Midas or "import chimeraInit" followed by "chimeraInit.init([])" I receive the following error:
import chimeraInit chimeraInit.init([]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share/chimeraInit.py", line 594, in init import chimera File "/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share/chimera/__init__.py", line 16, in <module> from _chimera import BBox, Camera, Color, ColorGroup, DirectionalLight, LODControl, Lens, LensViewer, Light, Material, MaterialColor, Model, NoGuiViewer, OGLFont, OSLAbbreviation, OpenModels, OpenState, PathFinder, PixelMap, Plane, Point, PositionalLight, Selectable, SharedState, SpotLight, Sphere, Texture, TextureColor, TrackChanges, Vector, Viewer, X3DScene, Xform ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/lib/_chimera.so, 2): Symbol not found: __cg_TIFFClientOpen Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO Expected in: /Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libTIFF.dylib in /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO
I am using MacOSX 10.8.2, Python 2.7.3, and Chimera 1.7 (build 38197) for 64bit Mac.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,
Jon Williams
