Hello, I am installing pymol on opensuse 11 RC1 (kernel 2.6.25.4-8). Installation with default python 2.5.2 did not succeed - some strange problems occurred at the begging. I think python default installation might be corrupt. So I`ve compiled python 2.5.1 from source with default options and installed it to /usr/local/python2.5.1 dir. Then I cd to pymol directory (sources were downloaded from svn) and ran /usr/local/python/bin/python2.5.1 setup.py build then "install" then /usr/local/python/bin/python2.5.1 setup2.py install
Next I have installed Pmw1.3.1 the same way - setup.py install When I run pymol executable script I get the main window (viewer) without the top tk gui and the following message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PyMOL(TM) Molecular Graphics System, Version 1.1r0.

I ran the Pmw installation script again - same problem I have installed Pmw1.3.2 - the newest sources from the site - same problem. Python configure script does not have an "enable tk" option. I have installed python 2.5.2 to default dir and used it to install pymol - the same problem. Could you just give me a tip on what I might be doing wrong. Thank you. SDA
