[IMP-users] changing the default installed /usr/share/IMP path (IMP-2.1.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm/IMP-devel-2.1.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm)

[Tru Huynh <>]

Hello,

I am trying to install the prebuilt IMP rpms for CentOS-5 x86_64 in some
different place,
ie /usr/ -> nfs mounted /c5/shared/imp/2.1.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64

I have rpm2cpio the contents, redefined the required PATH/PYTHONPATH but I am
stuck at the /usr/shared/IMP which seems to be hardcoded in
lib64/libimp_base.so file.

Is there a way to override that /usr/shared/IMP path with some environment
variables? or some magic IMP.base.set_data_path ?

testcase:
<cut imp.py>
import IMP
import IMP.atom
import IMP.multifit
m=IMP.kernel.Model()
mp0 = IMP.atom.read_pdb('/Bis/home/tru/0.pdb',m)
</cut>
$ python imp.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "imp.py", line 5, in ?
    mp0 = IMP.atom.read_pdb('/Bis/home/tru/0.pdb',m)
  File "/c5/shared/imp/2.1.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/IMP/atom/__init__.py", line 10442, in read_pdb
    return _IMP_atom.read_pdb(*args)
_IMP_base.IOException: Unable to find data file top.lib in [/usr/share/IMP]. IMP is not installed or set up correctly.

begin Model 0::do_destroy:
  Destroying model
end Model 0::do_destroy

top.lib in my setup is /c5/shared/imp/2.1.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64/share/IMP/atom/top.lib
and not in /usr/share/IMP/atom/top.lib

Thanks

Tru
