Dear all, I have a simple question: does Delphi controller works under unix only or it is possible to work with it under Linux and/or Windows XP?
Thanks a lot, Marco

It works fine under Linux. Unfortunately (?) I don't try to do much under Windows so I can't address that part...
Thanks a lot, Marco

Hi Marco,
I don't think DelphiController works on Windows. Looking at the Chimera code I did not see any changes that would make this work versus a few years ago.
Here's my answer when you asked this same question a few years ago:
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2003-July/000025.html
We have been thinking recently about how to make electrostatics calculations in Chimera easier. Ideas include a simple Coulomb calculation, or using APBS which would be included in Chimera.
It may be simple to make DelphiController work on Windows since the only obvious problem I saw was in the command used to invoke Delphi. That seems like a simple step to try before we include some other electrostatics calculation. Eric Pettersen is the one who is looking at electrostatics and maybe he can comment further.

Hello, In the DelPhiController description where we said it only works on unix systems, I believe that includes all of the current Chimera platforms (including Linux, Mac OS X, IRIX, etc.) *except* Windows. As Dr. Vaughn said, it should work on your linux system.
(As an aside, although DelPhi is distributed for Mac, we have not been able to get the Mac version working; there were several chimera- users messages about this in November.)

I am evaluating the speed of a simple Coulombic calculation vs. Poisson-Boltzmann for interactive use. If the PB calculation always takes many minutes for reasonable results then I would probably make the Coulombic calculation available "directly" (i.e. the results made available in that same session as a volume data set or a surface coloring) but allow the PB input (i.e. a PQR file for APBS) to be easily created. Adding these features has become feasible now that Chimera includes charge-assignment capabilities. I'm open to opinions/suggestions about what people would like to see in this regard.

Conrad is investigating getting Delphi to work on Windows and will be following up.
