[Chimera-users] problem with chimera

[Jean-Paul Armache]

Hello,

Due to some long needed changes, I have switched to CentOS 5.2.
Everything was fine for some time, but then, when trying to run Chimera,
I encountered the following error (applies to all versions of Chimera on
my harddrive - 1.2470, 1.2492 and 1.2540):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/chimera/chimera1.2492/share/__main__.py", line 65, in ?
    value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv)
  File "/opt/chimera/chimera1.2492/share/chimeraInit.py", line 302, in
init
    splash.create()
  File "/opt/chimera/chimera1.2492/share/chimera/splash.py", line 17, in
create
    splash = Tk.Frame(root, background="white")
  File "/opt/chimera/chimera1.2492/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 2375, in __init__
    Widget.__init__(self, master, 'frame', cnf, {}, extra)

line 1862, in __init__
    self.tk.call(
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "white"


I have tkinter installed, python running properly, everything
functional. Except for that. Do you know what could be done to fix it?
Best, 

Jean-Paul
