[Chimera-users] WinXP SP1 python error on File -> Open

[Pattanayek, Sabuj]

Hi,

I'm getting a strange error when I start chimera and do file->open. This is the
reply log:

ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list
(see reply log for Python traceback info)
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have also posted the screenshot here

Also if I do "c:\Program Files\Chimera\bin\chimera.exe" file.pdb from the
command line, then do file -> open, it works again. I've tried running it with
and without precompiling modules after installation, but get the same result.

I've downloaded the binary installation several times, done uninstall, then
install, but I'm still getting the same error. I have not been able to re-create
the error on another winxp sp1 machine.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
