Problem solved, thanks to Folmer Fredslund, to whom I am obliged! So, I will give you an idiot's guide on how to make PyMOL to produce movies, in Ubuntu:
* Download freemol-freemol.tar.gz from: http://www.bioinformatics.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/freemol/trunk/freemol/?view=tar * Copy freemol-freemol.tar.gz to a specific directory, eg /opt, typing: sudo cp ~/Downloads/freemol-freemol.tar.gz /opt/. * Unzip your file, typing: cd /opt sudo tar zxvf freemol-freemol.tar.gz This is the tree of freemol directory: . ├── bin │ └── mpeg_encode.exe ├── include ├── lib ├── libpy │ └── freemol │ ├── apbs.py │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── mengine.py │ └── mpeg_encode.py ├── licenses │ └── mpeg_encode.txt ├── LICENSE.txt ├── README.txt └── share * Download freemol-mpeg_encode.tar.gz from: www.bioinformatics.org/cgi- bin/viewvc.cgi/freemol/trunk/src/mpeg_encode/?view=tar * Unzip your file: sudo tar ztvf freemol-mpeg_encode.tar.gz * Define $FREEMOL directory. If this is /opt/freemol, type: export FREEMOL=/opt/freemol * Execute the following commands: cd mpeg_encode ./configure make sudo make install * If you have done it right, you have to see following two files: /opt/freemol/bin/mpeg_encode.exe /opt/freemol/licenses/mpeg_encode.txt If you do not see them, the two files are probably at: /bin/mpeg_encode.exe /licenses/mpeg_encode.txt In that case, just move them (sudo mv) to the appropriate directories. * Type: cd cd bin/ pico pymol.sh * Put this content into your script: #!/bin/bash FREEMOL=/opt/freemol export FREEMOL pymol * Give execution rights to the script: chmod 755 pymol.sh * As ~/bin is in the $PATH, from now on, you should run pymol through this script, by typing anywhere: pymol.sh Finally, I suggest that all this could be included in the source code of pymol, in the following releases.
