I am having a problem installing PyMol 0.80 on my (Redhat 7.1) Linux box.
I already have Tcl, Tk, Python 2.1, zlib and libpng so I just made libglut
from the ext-0.79 package.
cd $PYMOL_PATH/ext
./build.com glut-linux
The GL libraries are in strange places on my system, so I made the
following links:
ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGL.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGLU.so
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a \
$PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGLcore.a
Then I built the PyMol program
cd $PYMOL_PATH/pymol
vi Rules.make
make
The 'make' succeeds, but when I execute pymol.com, I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File

ImportError: /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6: shared object not open
This shared object file exists - is there any reason why this error should
occur?

P.S. I don't have root access on this system
