Hi Wayne, (Backstory: I'm trying to build a standalone version of CCPNMR for OS X without using Fink.)

Yes, that was it. If you want to build a standalone version for CCPNMR on OS X, you need to build non-framework versions of Tcl/Tk, and then a version of Python that links against those Tcl/Tk libraries and _not_ against the Aquafied Tcl/Tk libs in /usr/lib. The only painful bit is that you have to patch Python's setup.py in order to do that. With those built, you can hack up installCode.py to point to the proper locations for your non-system Tcl/Tk and python, and it builds and runs fine. Thanks for your guidance. -ben -- Ben Eisenbraun Structural Biology Grid Harvard Medical School http://sbgrid.org http://hms.harvard.edu
