[Bkchem-user] bkchem on linux ... questions

[Rochus Schmid]

hi,

searching for a replacement of the usual m$word/chemdraw/endnote
combination.

i tried xdrawchem and chemtool.
didnt realy like these. combination with openoffice wasnt the way i
expected it, and i had other problems.
just found bkchem. i like python ... so it sounds all great.

you say that one needs python 2.2 which i have ... seems the setup.py
relies on os.walk() ... this is only in 2.3 ? or am i wrong?
other projects rely on python and i do not want to upgrade right now.
guess i can get the stuff to /site-packages manually. 

apart from that i have a problem with ... i guess ... the fonts? Pmw
works ok. demos and tests are fine.
but bkchem (started "locally" because of problem with setup.py) has
interesting little boxes after each letter. see screenshot.

any linux-user who could help me? thanks a lot in advance.
if Openoffice export realy works fine i will be very happy :-))

regards

  rochus
