PyMOLers, I can confirm that there are problems with RedHat9.0 -- which was shipped with by RedHat with malfunctioning C libraries that will cause PyMOL to hang and occasionally even crash the system.
My recommendation is to wait for RedHat 9.1 or try SUSE 8.2. Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delanoscientific.com Warren L.

I ran PyMOL on a RedHat 8.0 system without problems, but recently changed to rh9.0(shrike), and I get the following lines of error when I try to run PyMOL from the prompt (and pymol doesn't start): """ CHEMCCA35:cmura[42] pymol Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", line 93, in ? import pymol File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", line 236, in ? import _cmd ImportError: /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined symbol: glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX """ Some system info.: Red Hat 9.0 (Shrike; 2.4.20-13.9smp kernel) with an NVidia Quadro4 700 XGL graphics card.

But I don't know enough to fix it.... Has anyone else seen (and fixed?) this problem?? Thanks a lot, Cameron PS.
