Hi everyone

Having previously used RedHat I've just put Mandrake 9.1 on my latest
machine (ease of installation, disk partitioning).  To my surprise
(naively perhaps) the standard RH-derived RPMs on the pymol site lead to
chains of missing dependencies that I don't reach the bottom of.
Eventually I got pymol working kind-of with

pymol-0.82-2mdk.i586.rpm

preceded by

python-numeric-22.0-2mdk.i586.rpm

I dealt with some Tkinter error messages by installing the appropriate rpm
but now I have

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py",
lin
e 74, in exec_str
    exec s in globals(),globals()
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py",
lin

    __import__(invocation.options.gui)
  File

    from PMGApp import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/PMGApp.py",
line

    from AbstractApp import AbstractApp
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/AbstractApp.py",
 line 16, in ?
    import Pmw
ImportError: No module named Pmw

How to proceed?

2) More generally, am I doomed to use out-of-date versions of programs
(pymol and perhaps others), having made myself dependent on
Mandrake-specific rpms that won't keep up with new releases?  The
dependency chains when trying to install RH rpms were quite tricky and
included some complaints about libraries that I could even see in /lib !
That completely flummoxed me.

Thanks in advance

Daniel
