Write DMS missing from Tools->Structure Editing menu? (v 1.6.2 and v 1.7)
Hi,
My first posting here, and I have come here after google searching high and low about this. I understand that Write DMS is now a standard part of Chimera, but I am (or more correctly, the users I support) not able to access or use it from the Tools->Structure Editing menu.
I installed the binaries (x86_64 and x86) from the UCSF Chimera site, but none of them seem to have Write DMS functionality.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Precise) on a Dell Vostro 486 PC, Intel Core i7-2600 3.4 gHz, 8 Gb RAM, 1 Tb SATA HDD, Video AMD Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3.
What am I doing wrong? You can click on this link for a screenshot of what I see (its an XMing screenshot, but the view is the same in Ubuntu)

Any suggestions much appreciated!
Hi Duncan, That looks like some very old version of Chimera. There should be many more entries in that menu, including Write DMS. Maybe even though you downloaded a newer version, what you are starting up is old?? You can check version with command "version" or menu: Help... About UCSF Chimera. I doublechecked in Chimera 1.6.2, 1.7 and daily build (1.8) on my machine and they all have Write DMS in that menu.

Hi,
Thanks. It looks like there are 2 versions on the system. Someone put in an alias to an old version, which is what ran, overriding all PATH orders etc.
