RE: [PyMOL] PyMOL compatibility w/ NVidia card on rh9 system

PyMOLers,

I can confirm that there are problems with RedHat9.0 -- which was
shipped with by RedHat with malfunctioning C libraries that will cause
PyMOL to hang and occasionally even crash the system.  

My recommendation is to wait for RedHat 9.1 or try SUSE 8.2.

Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] PyMOL compatibility w/ NVidia card on rh9 system

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone's experienced problems with PyMOL compatibility 
with an NVidia graphics card? I ran PyMOL on a RedHat 8.0 system without

problems, but recently changed to rh9.0(shrike), and I get the following

lines of error when I try to run PyMOL from the prompt (and pymol 
doesn't start):

"""
CHEMCCA35:cmura[42] pymol
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File 
"/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", line

93, in ?
    import pymol
  File 
"/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", line

236, in ?
    import _cmd
ImportError: /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined symbol: 
glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX
"""

Some system info.: Red Hat 9.0 (Shrike; 2.4.20-13.9smp kernel) with an 
NVidia Quadro4 700 XGL graphics card. NVidia driver info. is:
NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 nvidia.o Kernel Module  1.0-4363  Sat Apr

19 17:46:46 PDT 2003
GCC version:  gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

 From the last line of the error, I suspect the problem has something to

do with incompatibility between my rh9 installation and python 
interpreter as utilized by PyMOL? But I don't know enough to fix it....
Has anyone else seen (and fixed?) this problem??

Thanks a lot,

    Cameron



PS. How does one search through the pymol users list mail archive at 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php??
