I just tested it and of course it failed for me, too! It must be that
there was a slight change in the cctbx since my previous compilation
of it. Or else I had modified something to take it into account and have
since forgotten.
When you run the setpaths.sh script, it adds the cctbx_build/bin
directory to the *front* of your $PATH. In that directory is a shell
script called "python" that sets the environment necessary to import
cctbx. So, to get cctbx to work, you have to call python without
prefixing a directory path. If you were like me and had:
/usr/bin/python $PYMOL_PATH/modules/launch_pymol.py $*
in your pymol.com file, then it would not run that
cctbx_build/bin/python script. So you need to either change the above
line to:
python $PYMOL_PATH/modules/launch_pymol.py $*
(assuming you've already run the setpaths.sh script) or you need to
copy the cctbx_build/bin/python contents (without the actual "python"
command) into your pymol.com file or some other file that you source
before pymol.com.
Within pymol, type the command:
print sys.path
and you should now see the cctbx directories show up.
I hope this is clear enough!
Cheers,
Rob
