Hi Janusz, Chimera has its own self-contained Python environment, so in order to install these packages so that you can use them from within Chimera you will need to use Chimera's Python whenever the installation procedure for a package calls on you to execute a Python script. For a script with no arguments that would be: chimera --nogui installation-script.py and for scripts with arguments: chimera --nogui --script "installation-script.py argument1 argument2 ..." On non-Mac platforms you can find the chimera executable in: <your chimera installation>/bin On Macs it is in: Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/bin While the 1.5 version of Chimera is nice enough, I would encourage you to upgrade to the 1.7 release candidate, which has many improvements. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Jan 10, 2013, at 11:30 AM, pythonchemia Gazeta.pl wrote:

And it would help to use a more recent version of Chimera, either version 1.6.2 or the 1.7 release candidate. The newer releases have newer versions of Python and MMTK embedded in them with the associated improvements and bug fixes. -- Greg On 01/10/2013 11:30 AM, pythonchemia Gazeta.pl wrote:

I sometime dream that Chimera would be packaged for Debian/Ubuntu :) On 01/11/2013 10:26 AM, Greg Couch wrote:

Francois, It might not be available via apt-get, but the downloaded version works just fine in Ubuntu and related distros. I am running Linux Mint 12.04 LTS 64-bit KDE 4.9.5 with UCSF Chimera 1.7 64-bit. --Rudy On Fri, 11 Jan 2013, Francois Berenger wrote:

Of course it works well. I was meaning via aptitude/apt-get. ;)
