[COOT] buggy coot 0.6-pre-1 r2264 on OS X 10.4.11

2009-09-08 Thread Christian Benda
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

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 0.001 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.

Bill

The good news is I can reproduce your error:

*** Could not run GtkGLExt test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file  
config.log for the

I'm coming to the conclusion that upgrading 32-bit fink to SL on a 64- 
bit capable machine is more trouble than a fresh install of 64-bit fink.


I'll try to get this sorted out.  Sorry.

Dear Bill,

1) I have installed fink 0.29.9 (32-bit) via bootstrapping on a Snow

2) changed the /sw/etc/fink.conf according to your website and  
updated fink


3) changed /sw/etc/apt/sources.list to include

I've searched the lists but couldn't get it working

I tried re-installing gtkglext1 and gtkglext1-shlibs. The

cannot install. Could you please help me to resolve it?


Thank you very much in advance,

Re: [COOT] Coot and Zalman Stereo

2009-09-08 Thread Phil Evans
Be careful how you look at it. As far as I can from trying it here,  
the stereo effect is very critically dependent on the vertical  
position of your eyes relative to the screen normal (or screen tilt if  
you like). Try tilting the screen

Hi All,
I recently acquired a Zalman 3D 22inch monitor with much anticipation.
However, building the latest pre-release of Coot and invoking zalman  
stereo
mode, it did not work.  There are two images being displayed, but  
they are
both displayed on all 1050 lines rather than alterating even and odd  
lines to
give the left and right eye images.  What I believe to be the  
relevant facts
are these, the OS is RHEL3 with the latest nVidia linux drivers and  
coot version
2283 built using the auto-building script for a gtk1 build with  
python both
enabled or disabled.  The log files from compiling coot and the  
numerous
dependancies looks ok without any obivous errors.  Any suggestions?   
Is this a

product of an outdated OS?

Thanks in advance,

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.

Dear MacCoot-bug-finders,

It would be very useful (making the difference between a bug being 
probably not fixable to probably fixable) if you could send me the core 
dump analysis of coot.


Coot will leave a core dump in /cores - at least it does for me (look 
for the latest one)


$ gdb /sw/bin/coot-real /cores/cores.
where

send me that text output.

Thanks,

Paul

That is actually a very reasonable request. Sorry for missing that. 
However, this bug does not leave any core dumps anywhere I could find, 
including in /cores.
