I messed up in the original readme for the setup, and I corrected it now; I definitely got confused with the too many things named holehelper but with different capitalization. The first argument of vmd_install_extension
needs to match the filename of the package (holehelper) and is case-sensitive. I was working across different machines without version control and must have set it up differently among them. These are the correct lines to put in your .vmdrc. Thanks for helping me correct the issue.
lappend auto_path /home/yourusername/HoleHelper/
vmd_install_extension holehelper holehelper_tk_cb Analysis/HoleHelper
Thanks so much, that worked! Quick response is much appreciated. Using your suggestion, I was able to run on a single frame and see the output -- very cool.
Your plugin is looking impressive, but I ran into a couple more issues:
Error: Needs proper pdb file
. I notice that there are a lot of different ways to trigger this output. Maybe more detailed outputs could be helpful for debugging? I found the conditional being triggered: if {[file extension $primarypdb] != ".pdb"} {
. Turns out I had loaded the PSF into the PDB section, but I still think the logging could be improved here.. It worked when I properly loaded PDB into PDB and PSF into PSF.PBC Wraping Condition (Centersel)
(should be wrapping)But anyway, my main question: how can I run Hole on a trajectory using your plugin? I loaded a trajectory into VMD myself (not through the plugin), which does give me the option to Run HOLE2 on Single Frame
. But not a trajectory. Any suggestions?
Also, this is fairly niche (happy to make a new issue), but do you have a suggested way to run Hole on a membrane system with lipids? The lipids might form part of the pore I'm interested in, so I'd like to retain them in the calculation. I tried this before, and I had it running with my own custom .rad file. (This is a low-priority feature request, so don't worry too much about it)
Thanks for all the comments. I'm glad at least someone is using this, even if it is a year from when I wrote it haha.
Sorry I'm late to the party on this one! Could've definitely used your plugin a year ago.. I saw the plugin mentioned at a conference or I would've used it sooner. It's extremely convenient.
Again, big thanks for doing this. I have my pore profile for a whole trajectory now. You're saving me tons of time and effort with this plugin. Nice work!!
Hello,
Thanks for making this! As someone who has used Hole via the executables and through the MDAnalysis plugin, I'm excited for something directly in VMD. Great idea.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to install the plugin, and the error message is very brief. I get:
But when I try package require
HoleHelper
, it shows1.0
.Any ideas on what could be going wrong? I'm running VMD 1.94a55 on RockyLinux 8. I get the same issue on 1.94a57 on Ubuntu.
