Following Nat's suggestion, I have recorded the console log and sent that to him. But for anybody else interested, here are the final lines of the output (partially shortened for clarity), and it seems that gtk can't be found:
PHENIX-1.7.1-743 Running python script /Applications/PHENIX-1.7.1-743/Contents/phenix-1.7.1-743/phenix/wxGUI2/Coot.py PHENIX-1.7.1-743 Traceback (most recent call last): PHENIX-1.7.1-743 File "<string>", line 1, in <module> PHENIX-1.7.1-743 File "/Applications/PHENIX-1.7.1-743/Contents/phenix-1.7.1-743/phenix/wxGUI2/Coot.py", line 24, in <module> PHENIX-1.7.1-743 import gtk PHENIX-1.7.1-743 ImportError: No module named gtk
Okay, that explains why the connection is broken. I'm still not sure why it works on my computer and not on yours, but it's definitely a problem with the Coot installation. I guess you could email the CCP4 maintainers and ask them to please fix this... but it's probably working just fine for CCP4 users. It may still be possible to make the connection with Phenix even if the GTK module is unavailable. So, a final experiment: 1. Start Coot 2. From the "Calculate" menu, select "Scripting"->"Python..." 3. Try typing each of these commands and see what happens: import gtk import gobject The first command will almost certainly fail - I'm hoping that the second still works. -Nat
