 Replying to [comment:5 howarth@…]:

 I'm not sure to whom this comment was directed, and I'm not sure what you
 meant by it. The pymol portfile states that it requires that the tcl port
 be installed without the corefoundation variant:

 {{{
 require_active_variants tcl "" corefoundation
 require_active_variants tk "" quartz
 }}}

 (To explain, for any readers unfamiliar with `require_active_variants`:
 this states that for the dependency tcl there are no required variants and
 there is 1 forbidden variant (corefoundation). Similarly, it states that
 for the dependency tk there are no required variants and there is 1
 forbidden variant (quartz).)


 How would combining the corefoundation and threads variants in the tcl
 port have anything to do with whether or not pymol works with
 corefoundation support?
