What worked: I. installing the following
1. mesa_libGLU-7.1-0.31.fc9.i386.rpm 2. zlib-1.2.3-18.fc9.i386.rpm 3. bug-buddy-2.22.0-2.fc9.i386.rpm 4. compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-63.i386.rpm II. Rebooting III. When I tried running the COOT bundled with ccp4, it worked IV. I then downloaded the Coot binaries for FC8, so I now have a working Coot version 0.4.1. Thanks to everyone for all their helpful advice, Rebecca
