I just successfully installed/ran 1.2524 on my Intel Mac running OSX
10.4.11 The only minor hiccup I had were the following warnings spit
out when I executed chimera and a lengthier-than-usual first-time
hesitation before the gui appeared (presumably due to these fonts -
which by the way look *much* nicer than those in the production
release):
~/dev/Chimera-1.2524.app/Contents/MacOS$ ./chimera
Fontconfig warning: no <cachedir> elements found. Check configuration.
Fontconfig warning: adding <cachedir>//var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir>
Fontconfig warning: adding <cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir>
It just dawned on me that maybe you have a powerpc machine (uname -
a)? I'm guessing that the Chimera developers need to recompile that
snapshot with some different env flags. There's some info on google
about the error msg you're seeing. I just went through this slightly
painful exercise for a guy running osx 10.3.x/ppc for some Python
eggs we distribute as extensions to Chimera.
I also noticed this snapshot is now using Python 2.5, fwiw.
