Hi,

disregard my message from yesterday.

Today I downloaded the pymol 0.73-sources and the ext-req-package and now it works (I also sorted out some problems with rpm-packages of Numeric and other external stuff not directly related to Pymol).

But still I had some problems compiling:

1. glut complained that glutbitmap.h was not there (but should'nt it be there, otherwise downloading a complete ext-package does not make sense???). I installed mesaglut-devel from SuSE 7.3, and after that, it worked.

2. after compilation (apparently without error, but with some warnings) of both the required ext-packages (I excluded png1 because I have the png2-lib installed, as described in the INSTALL-manual) and pymol, I tried to start pymol, but got an error from _cmd complaining, that python 152.so-something had an undefined symbol "stat".

I changed the Makefile-scripts to use my preinstalled SuSE 7.3 Python 2.1 (why use 1.52 anyway) and after that it worked (i.e. demos ran without problems and program did not crash for 10 minutes or so ;-) ).

So now I need to test-check it a bit more and see if everything is ok.
Any hints for ready-made self-tests or so?

Bottomline: The precompiled rpm-binaries seem to be broken -at least they don't for SuSE 7.3.

There is a missing (really??) header-file in glut in the ext-package.

The default compilation of Python 1.52 as in the ext-package does not work either (for me -don't know why) but with a precompiled Python 2.1.1 it is ok.

Cheers!
