Stephen, Glad to see you're interested! O'Reilly was a blast...
Right now PyMOL is more of a continuous process rather than a discrete set of release stages. Try building off of the CVS source. In theory, the 'ext' distribution contains all the dependencies you need (including Pmw and Numeric), but most of those are now getting to be quite out of date. Yu're best off assembling all of the necessary dependencies from their respective web sites. Please use Python 2.1 or greater. PyMOL isn't really a well behaved Python module, right now. That will change soon. The problem is that PyMOL needs a bit more coddling than a normal Python module in order to run. You can stick all of PyMOL under /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/pymol, but you'll need to adjust PYMOLPATH accordingly in the "pymol.com" script, and you'll want to copy or link that script to someplace useful (such as /usr/local/bin). > Ok, after googling the term Numeric I've come across > Numpy which looks to be Numeric.
