This is not the recommended way to run PyMOL and may lead to problems. You can run Python programs within PyMOL as follows: from the command-line: pymol example.py # synchronous, in PyMOL module pymol -r example.py # synchronous in __main__ module pymol -l example.py # asychronous in a new module You can also launch python programs from within PyMOL with the commands: run example.py # synchronous in pymol module run example.py,main # synchronous in __main__ module spawn example.py # asychronous in a new module spawn example.py,global # asychronous in the PyMOL module spawn example.py,main # asychronous in the __main__ module see: help launching help run help spawn > Following the examples in /pymol/examples/devel I have been able to > launch and controll PyMOL.

I know for a fact that the Mac take-down process is currently flawed, and frequently gives a bus error. Because it only happens after you quit the program, its a low priority issue... Not sure about Redhat. Warren
