[phenixbb] Problem with remotely displaying PHENIX

1 Jun 2006

      Dear all,

While waiting for a Mac OS X version of PHENIX, I have installed it  
on a Linux server, with the idea of remotely display the GUI on our  
OS X machines. However, when I try to do so, the GUI briefly opens  
and then bombs out with the following message:

LINUX> phenix

         Running the PHENIX GUI with
                 /home/xray/luca/bin/phenix/phenix-1.1a/phenix-1.1a/ 
build/intel-linux/python/bin/python

         PHENIX distribution located in /home/xray/luca/bin/phenix/ 
phenix-1.1a/phenix-1.1a/phenix

         Variable SSH_PATH set to /usr/bin/ssh

         Variable PYMOL_PATH set to /home/xray/luca/bin/phenix/ 
phenix-1.1a/phenix-1.1a/pymol

         Variable RSH_PATH set to /usr/bin/rsh

Creating new Data Storage /home/xray/luca/strategies
The program 'wxPhenix.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
   (Details: serial 6349 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()  
function.)

...has anyone else encountered the same issue, and, if so, managed to  
solve it?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Luca
