Dear Nian,
on my Fedora 6 system there was absolutely no problem compiling and
later running PyMOL. Here's the rundown:
Get Pmw from sf.net, unpack and put into python site-packages directory,
eg. /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pmw. In Pmw1.3, there is a
setup.py that professes to do this automagically. I had errors with
'python setup.py install' so I did it manually after all. Get Numeric
from sf.net and install the same way. I didn't try to make it work with
NumPy, which apparently supersedes Numeric.
Then you need to 'yum install freetype-devel freeglut-devel libpng-devel'.
After that, 'python setup.py build', 'python setup.py install', and
'python setup2.py install'.
Tell me if that's not working smoothly.

Dear All,
I tried to install precompiled pymol in Fedora 6, and found out I
cannot input text. I have compiled pymol by myself before. It seemed
that the problem was the Tcl/Tk, which didn't function correctly in
Fedora 6. After replaced it with Active Tcl/Tk, I got a working pymol.
But it was too bad that I didn't take note. Because I am not good at
computer, I don't want spend a lot of time again to recompile the
newest version of pymol. Could somebody provide a working pymol or any
trick to fix the problem easily?
