Dear fellow PyMOL users,

I have been trying to install PyMOL on a cygwin platform on my Windows
XP computer. So far I have built and installed PyMOL using the commands

python setup.py build
python setup.py install
python setup2.py 

in my pymol directory. This generated a script named "pymol" (not
"pymol.com") whose contents are

#!bin/sh
/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py $*

But when I type "pymol" to execute this script, I get the error messages

Traceback (most recent call last)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py", line 90, in
?
    import pymol
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py", line 306,
in ?
    import _cmd
ImportError: dlopen, Win32 error 5

The file __init__py seems to be looking for files named "pymol.py" and
"_cmd.py". But these files do not exist anywhere on my system. There is,
however, a file "_cmd.dll", and trying to import that seems to be the
source of the "ImportError" in the last line of the output.

Does anyone have some advice on this? I would be very grateful for any
help.

Thank you,
