I've installed chimera on Windows boxes & had no problems whatsoever. <BR>Imagine my shock when, at a workshop, I had the attendees using it<BR>on a linux box for the first time, and as soon as they tried to work with <BR>the view control window, using the getting started tutorial, chimera<BR>crashed. Oddly, when I had them load a pdb file & use the symmetry data<BR>to fill out the unit cell, that worked just fine. Needless to say, things were<BR>way too hectic to pursue at that point.<BR> <BR>Now that the dust has settled, I've tried chimera on my own linux workstation<BR>[a nearly new Dell 64-bit machine, on which I put the 32-bit version] with gobs<BR>of memory & Red Hat linux version 5], I was able to use the view control <BR>window with 1zik.pdb as described in the tutorial, which had not been true on<BR>the other machines, which are older & smaller, but when I was trying out<BR>rotation, zoom, & translation with the mouse, chimera suddenly crashed - all its<BR>windows vanished from the monitor in a flash. I got the following error message:<BR>
<BR>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Courier New" color=#000000>X Error of failed request:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)<BR><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Major opcode of failed request:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>91 (X_QueryColors)<BR><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Value in failed request:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>0xff000000<BR><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Serial number of failed request:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>23745<BR><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Current serial number in output stream:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>23745</FONT><BR><BR></P>
What can I do about this?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
