[Chimera-users] OS X Chimera

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Chris,

  Yes, the X11 package is on your Mac OS 10.4 installation disk as an 
optional package.  In Mac OS 10.5 it is installed by default.

  We have improved our native Mac version of Chimera that does not 
require X windows.  You could try that without installing X11.  Get it 
(Mac Aqua version) from our daily build web page:

    http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/alpha-downloads.html

We still expect it to have user interface glitches that the Mac X11 
version does not have but I have found it usable.  Do not use the 
snapshot Mac Aqua version (june 21) on our main download page as it is 
older and has serious problems.

    Tom
