Dan,
Opinions may vary, but I see RPMs are pretty heavily tied to the
distribution. The kind of errors you're seeing are to be expected when
trying to install cross-distribution.
RPM doesn't look at the file system (AFAIK), it looks in the RPM
database for the names of (Redhat-specific) known dependency packages.
You also need the Python megawidgets (pmw) -- there should be an
RPM for this...
How many other PyMOL users are using Mandrake? Perhaps there
are enough users to justify at least one official mdk package release?
Cheers,
Warren
