I'm going to make a wild guess and suggest it is a python version
mismatch.
If you open the python scripting window and type in
help()
what do you see in the console window?
I get this:
BL INFO:: command input is: help()
Welcome to Python 2.6! This is the online help utility.

Hi everybody,
Using the revision 2283 on 10.5, I am seeing this whenever I am
closing the application:
/sw/bin/coot: line 5: 19785 Segmentation fault /sw/bin/coot-
real "$@"
Yep, coot shuts down with a segmentation fault. I haven't tested
most functionality and it has not affected my use of coot yet, but I
assumed it might help to report it. This seems to be the same bug
observed by Christian on a 10.4 machine, because I get the similar
Preferences crash. Empty 0-coot.state.scm is also probably due to
the crash during exiting.

Hi Christian:
I just committed coot 0.6-pre-1-revision-2283 to fink cvs. It
fixes a bug on 64-bit where the menu would freeze when
superposition is invoked. I suppose there is a 0.0000001 chance
that it fixes the other problem too. I have no way to test on 10.5
intel (I still have 10.6) and haven't had direct access to 10.4 for
a long time. This could be a problem with coot or with one of many
of its ca. 230 dependencies.
From what I have read, you can upgrade directly to SL (US $30, UK
£25), despite the propaganda on the box. I have ccp4 and coot and
the other crystallographic fink things running all in 64-bit now.
I'm hoping these will now pass the 70S ribosome test.
I hope this works in the meantime.

Dear all,
we have updated coot to 0.6-pre-1 revision 2264 using fink on our
Macs running 10.4.11
to be able to use zalman stereo.
Unfortunately it seems like this coot or the combination is not
working correctly. So far,
there are two main issues:
1. coot freezes and closes down after selecting e.g. the
preferences menue
2. coot writes an empty 0-coot.state.scm file no matter what's
loaded into coot.
Any hints to what we can do? We really need the stereo and
therefore revision 2225 or
higher
Many thanks in advance
Christian
