Scott, Ways of launching PyMOL from the commmand-line on Mac OS X.
Option A: In current MacPyMOL builds (I think 1.0 as well), inside the .app bundle there is a ./setup.sh script which, when run from inside that working diretory, writes a "../pymol" command which can be used to reliably launch MacPyMOL or PyMOLX11Hybrid from the command line. You can then copy or move this script into your path. Option B: Use the built-in "alias" command within whatever shell you prefer. tcsh: put in your ".cshrc" alias pymol /Applications/MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL bash: put in your ".profile" alias pymol=/Applications/MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL Cheers, Warren -- DeLano Scientific LLC Subscriber Support Services mailto:[email protected] > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Shandler [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 7:30 AM > To: DeLano Scientific > Subject: Re: [PyMOL] PyMOL + Leopard + symlink > > Hello again Warren, > > Thanks for your quick response, I thought there was something > funky with my machine.
