A bit related to the thread about dropping gtk1 versions: has anyone experienced this and perhaps could provide a fix/explanation?
Symptoms: (get-monomer three-letter-code) makes gtk2 (!) centos-4 coot crash on RHEL4, e.g. with GOL: --- (monomer-molecule-from-3-let-code "GOL" "") throw from within critical section. /xtal/work/JED/coot/coot-Linux-i386-centos-4-gtk2/bin/coot: line 124: 23850 Aborted $coot_real $* coot-exe: "/xtal/work/JED/coot/coot-Linux-i386-centos-4-gtk2/bin/coot-real" coot-version: /xtal/work/JED/coot/coot-Linux-i386-centos-4-gtk2/bin/coot-real core: #f No core file found. No debugging --- Interestingly, get_monomer(three_letter_code) is fine, so is get-monomer in gtk1 redhat-8 coot, same machine, same circumstances. It gets more confusing: even though get-monomer fails, I can get away with replacing get-monomer with (monomer-molecule-from-3-letter-code three-letter-code "") in my scripts and extensions. The only thing I can think of is that this is a guile-issue, as centos-4 builds come with guile 1.8.5 while redhat builds have guile 1.6.8. Plus, I haven't come across anything that would give the above error message, other than libguile's throw. What do guile-experts say about this? I can't get my head around the difference between monomer-molecule-from-3-letter-code and get-monomer. Aren't they supposed to be one and the same thing? Why not use monomer-molecule-from-3-letter-code only? thanks, JED -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AstraZeneca UK Limited is a company incorporated in England and Wales with registered number: 03674842 and a registered office at 15 Stanhope Gate, London W1K 1LN.
