Re: [PyMOL] Precompiled pymol won't work on Fedora 6

Dear Nian,

on my Fedora 6 system there was absolutely no problem compiling and 
later running PyMOL.  Here's the rundown:

Get Pmw from sf.net, unpack and put into python site-packages directory, 
eg. /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pmw.  In Pmw1.3, there is a 
setup.py that professes to do this automagically.  I had errors with 
'python setup.py install' so I did it manually after all.  Get Numeric 
from sf.net and install the same way.  I didn't try to make it work with 
NumPy, which apparently supersedes Numeric.

Then you need to 'yum install freetype-devel freeglut-devel libpng-devel'.

After that, 'python setup.py build', 'python setup.py install', and 
'python setup2.py install'.

Tell me if that's not working smoothly.
