[Wolfgang Lugmayr]

Dear user,

first, I am confused:

Downloading bundle ChimeraX_StarMap-1.2.15-py3-none-any.whl
Bundle installation canceled

Could you please try the following statement in the Windows PowerShell?
wsl.exe /usr/bin/find /usr/local/rosetta -type d | /usr/bin/grep 'source\/bin'
or in your default WSL subsystem:
/usr/bin/find /usr/local/rosetta -type d | /usr/bin/grep 'source\/bin'
the result should be one line containing an existing directory.

I cannot reproduce the error on my installation. I use a newer ChimeraX 1.7rc on Windows 11 and get the following output in the Log tab:
UCSF ChimeraX version: 1.7rc202311230013 (2023-11-23)
© 2016-2023 Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
How to cite UCSF ChimeraX
ui tool show StarMap> starting StarMap 1.2.15

use command <stmhelp show> for the StarMap manual

stmset usrlbl1=extra_res_cen
stmset usrlbl2=extra_res_fa

If Rosetta is not installed in the WSL then 2 additional lines should appear:
Rosetta executables not found!
Scripts can only be generated with default Rosetta executable names. Executing them directly from ChimeraX will therefore fail!

It seems this error happens either by calling or parsing the result of the find statement above. Can you please post the output of the find here.

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Wolfgang,

Unfortunately the reporter email address is "chimerax-bug-report@…", which means it was submitted anonymously. Since from your comment it's clear that you can't reproduce the problem, I am going to close the ticket as irreproducible.
