Re: [PyMOL] PyMOL + Leopard + symlink

Scott,

Ways of launching PyMOL from the commmand-line on Mac OS X.

Option A:

In current MacPyMOL builds (I think 1.0 as well), inside the .app bundle
there is a ./setup.sh script which, when run from inside that working
diretory, writes a "../pymol" command which can be used to reliably launch
MacPyMOL or PyMOLX11Hybrid from the command line.  You can then copy or move
this script into your path.

Option B:

Use the built-in "alias" command within whatever shell you prefer.

tcsh: put in your ".cshrc"

alias pymol /Applications/MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL

bash: put in your ".profile"

alias pymol=/Applications/MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL

Cheers,
Warren
