After running a routine update on my FC4 box that included updates to X11, launching Pymol causes one of two things:
1. X completely crashes and must be killed from a remote login to regain system control. 2. Pymol manages to launch with the following messages: [stu...@localhost installs]$ pymol /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py:326: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module _cmd: This Python has API version 1012, module _cmd has version 1011. import _cmd This PyMOL(TM) Incentive Product is Copyright (C) 2005 DeLano Scientific LLC.

GL_VERSION: 1.2 (2.0.0 NVIDIA 76.67) Adapting to GeForce hardware... I uninstalled/reinstalled pymol, both from the RH9.0 RPM and tarballs, updated to the latest stable python release and installed Pymol again, but no change in messages. There was a similar listing back in 2003 on the mailing list, but no response was posted. The messages suggest Pymol is looking for information in /usr/lib/python2.2, which is empty of pretty much anything at all now, I think the update cleaned it out when it updated to 2.4, but I can't figure out if I need to transfer files from the 2.4 directory to the 2.2, or install 2.2 manually. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Stuart Endo-Streeter ____________________________________ Stuart Endo-Streeter Structural Biology and Biophysics Dept.
