Hi, I installed lastest chimera build (1.3.2576) on 32-bit linux platform. When I ran chimera I got for following error message Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/sciencetools/chimera/share/__main__.py", line 65, in <module> value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv) File "/opt/sciencetools/chimera/share/chimeraInit.py", line 361, in init tkgui.initializeGUI(exitonquit, debug_opengl) File "/opt/sciencetools/chimera/share/chimera/tkgui.py", line 2520, in initializeGUI master.tk.call('tix', 'initstyle') _tkinter.TclError: expected integer but got "9.5"

Can anyone help me out?

P.S. I opened the tkgui.py file and comment line 2520: master.tk.call('tix', 'initstyle') Chimera start without the error and seems usable, But I am not sure if this is appropriate.

Best, lithlin

Commenting out the "master.tk.call('tix', 'initstyle')" turns off chimera's ability to find and use your default font. That leads to the most likely bug, that you picked a non-integer default font size. Just change your default font size to 9 or 10 and chimera should work unchanged.
