[Chimera-users] Import Chimera Modules

[Jonathan Williams]

Hi Tom,

Good news: I got the chimera modules to import! 

I think that you were correct about having an older libfreetype.6.dylib that was being used instead of Chimera's version, probably from my Enthought Python Distribution .  Overall I believe that my EPD was making things harder for me.  So I removed the EPD from my system, set all of the environment variables per the Chimera IDLE, added ~/Resources/lib and ~/Resources/share to PYTHONPATH, and now I'm in business.

Thank you for your help and suggestions!

Jon

The first thing would be to try to locate where the other libfreetype.6.dylib is.  I guess Chimera starts on your machine, so somehow it gets the right library.  That suggests that you do not have the environment variables that control library loading setup in the same way as Chimera does.  I'd suggest you start Chimera, open the IDLE shell window (Tools / General Controls) and print all the environment variables seen by the running Chimera using for example
