Hi everyone,

maybe I should have looked in the archive more carefully...
Yes, this is a nvidia quadro system, and yes, it's the 7174 drivers.
I have downloaded the 0.99beta01 version, and it seems to be stable in the first few tests I've done.

Thanks!

Do you have nvidia drivers?
If so, may be you came across the same problem I have:

I have installed the latest version of Mandriva Linux on a AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2400+ PC with
a Quadro4 900 XGL graphich card and the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174 driver

When I run pymol and load a pdb file, the program crashes with the following message:

CmdLoad: "GLGA/sup_models/pdb1rzu.ent" loaded as "pdb1rzu".
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08a76ba0 ***
/usr/local/pymol-0.98-precompiled/pymol.com: line 14: 16877 Aborted (core dumped) $PYMOL_PATH/pymol.exe $*

However, if I set auto_show_lines=off and auto_show_nonbonded=off BEFORE loading the molecule, the program loads the PDB file without crashing (and without showing any graphical object, of course). Then, I can use the "show" command/button for any type of representation (ribbons, nonbonded, sticks, ...) EXCEPT the "lines" representation, which causes a program crash.

This happens with both distributed binary and self compiled PyMol versions. I have tried version 0.97 and 0.98 with the same results.

Then, browsing the internet, I came across the following message from Warren:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11735911

and I decided to try the 0_99beta01 version (http://delsci.com/beta/pymol-0_99beta01-bin-linux-x86-nvidia-test.tgz), which seems to solve my problem for the moment.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to send in a description of the following situation:
I was using pymol 0.98 precompiled on FC3 today and did an automatic update during the day (therefore, sorry but I don't know which packages where upgraded :-( Afterwards, pymol would start up, but core dump immediately after loading a pdb file. The same is happening with the 0.97 precompiled version and with my own compile of the 0.98 source code.
This is what I get:
/xsoft/pymol-0.97precompiled/pymol.com: line 14: 19692 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $PYMOL_PATH/pymol.exe $*

or my compile:
/xsoft/pymol-0.98/pymol.com: line 2: 19785 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py $*


Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated...
Gerwald
