[cmview-devel] CMView DaliLite plugin

[Inken Wohlers]

Hi Michael and hi CMview developers!

Here the answers to the questions below.
The operating system on which I am running CMview is Fedora 14.
I figured out now that in some cases the DaliLite alignment does work. For example, I can align 1c52A and 1gdvA if I load them from online pdb. Aligning 1c52A with 1c52A or 1gdvA with 1gdvA doesn't work though (maybe the problem is aligning identical proteins / pdbs with the same name?). 

If I use my local pdb files by using "Load from PDB file", there is a slightly different error and I tried different pdb files but couldn't find any for which the Dali alignment works. The error message is always the same in these cases.

I attach my local copy of 1c52A and 1gdvA and the error messages. "out_err_1c52.txt" shows the errors for the case of loading the input files from online pdb, "out_err_1c52_local.txt" shows the errors for loading the input files from local pdb files.
Maybe from this you see an easy way of fixing it?

Thank you and best regards,
Inken

Dear Inken -

Thanks for the feedback! At the moment I can't reproduce the bug and so
I don't have a solution right away - hence I cc this to the
cmview-developers list
- maybe someone has got an idea or experienced something similar.

Maybe these questions will help us to nail the bug:
There were a couple of bugs which occurred only in one operating system
but not others - so which system are you running cmview on?
Is there any output on the console for errors?
Did you try running DaliLite on its own -
just to make sure the problem isn't there...

Thanks & best wishes! cheers .\\ichael
