[phenixbb] [COOT] CCP4 - Coot in Applications

[Antony Oliver]

Ok - annoying thing….

1) using /Applications/coot.app/Contents/Resources/script to launch Coot from the command line (terminal window) works IF you don't have X11 open already.
2) if you DO have X11 open, coot pretty much always crashes with the aforementioned "invalid window errors".

>>> Nov 23 12:17:02 coot-real[80005] <Error>: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSGetSurfaceBounds
>>> Nov 23 12:17:02 coot-real[80005] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.
>>> Nov 23 12:17:02 coot-real[80005] <Error>: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSBindSurface: Invalid window 0x8da
>>> Nov 23 12:17:02 coot-real[80005] <Error>: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSBindSurface: Invalid window 0x8da
>>> Nov 23 12:17:02 coot-real[80005] <Error>: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSBindSurface: Invalid window 0x8da

Ideas and suggestions welcome.  I guess I could make sure that X11 is not running each time I invoke a script or run coot from the command line - but it's not exactly ideal.

--> NB: Running Mac OS X, 10.7.5 - Lion.

Please excuse the cross bulletin board posting, but I really do use quite a range of software across all program suites - and this method of delivering coot causes problems for many of the plugins/scripts (phenix and buster for example).

With thanks,

Antony.
