653	Odd library problem installing OpenMM 7.1.0	Tristan Croll	tic20@…	"As per Tom's suggestion a while back, I've installed OpenMM 7.1.0 into ChimeraX's Python on my machine - and come across the following little oddity. If I try to run ISOLDE immediately after starting ChimeraX, it crashes back to the command line on hitting the line:

{{{
from simtk.openmm import Platform
}}}

with the backtrace pasted below. The weird thing is that if I first open the shell and type:


{{{
from simtk import openmm
}}}

and ''then'' run ISOLDE, everything works just fine. Nothing changes if I add the ... import openmm line to ISOLDE prior to importing Platform. From the backtrace, the crash is due to it finding the main libOpenMM.so in the new location (/home/tic20/apps/openmm-7.1.0/lib), but still finding the OpenMM plugin libraries in the old location (/home/tic20/apps/chimerax/lib/plugins). So it would seem that imports via the shell and imports via the back end see slightly different library search paths.
 
Top of the stack trace:
