The Sparky 3.106 version of this extension works with Chimera
1.1442 but not with more recent versions of Chimera. This is
because both applications need to be using the same version of
Python. Sparky 3.110 does not work with Chimera 1.1892 or earlier.

the sparky startup file is a c-shell script, which setup the
envrionment variables for sparky.
my chimera is the beta, version 1 build 2065 and is install in :
/home/chang/Software/chimera/bin/chimera

But in the sparky startup file(/usr/local/bin/sparky, the c-shell
script), we should set the variable $CHIMERA to
/home/chang/Software/chimera, like the following:

setenv CHIMERA /home/chang/Software/chimera/

for sparky want to know the chimeras lib path, which is in :
/home/chang/Software/chimera/lib

After set the correct CHIMERA value, I use the km to start

extension, load a pdb file, and press Show button. Another error
messege appear:

/home/chang/Software/chimera/share/chimeraInit.py line 52,
def init(argv, nogui=False, nostencil=False, stereo=False,
bgopacity=False,
NameError: name False is not defined

I now try to decipher its meaning and correct it.

That is similar to my experience so far. According to the

setting the environment variable CHIMERA to the chimera install
directory either in the sparky startup file, or in your .cshrc

.bashrc file should be sufficient. What version of chimera and

version of sparky have you attempted this with in the past? I

downloaded and tested sevral chimera versions with sparky 3.110

I have tried the chimera extension. I believe you have edited

sparky startup file to include the correct chimera full path

When I finished, I start sparky, and use the shortcut key km

start the interface successfully. After I select the pdb file

press the show button, an error which report :

.../python/sparky/chimeraview.py line 528, in start_chimera
ImportError: No module named chimeraInit

Maybe I need to change some environment variable and have a try.
