[PyMOL] Pymol installation probs on ubuntu

Hello,

sorry for mybe asking stupid beginner's questions, but that's actually
what i am ;-)
i just tried to get pymol running on ubuntu. turns aout to ba a problem.
i have python 2.4, 2.3 and 2.2 installed via the synaptic package manager,
but when i tried to add pymol - also by synaptic - i already got some
probs, as it was not able to find some moduels. i could fix this problem
by changing the environment variables in the python start script.

now i ran into the following prob, for which i can't find any solution:

christoph@Richterpc1:/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol$ pymol
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py", line 105, in ?
    import pymol
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py", line 329, in ?
    import _cmd
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/_cmd.so: undefined
symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_SetDefaultEncoding

can anyone help me to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance
Christoph
