I just built and ran PyMol using Cygwin on my system here is how I did it make sure you have installed the latest python and the opengl zlib and ping Cygwin packages prior to the following 1) install Numeric http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy/ after untaring cd into top level Numeric directory and execute python setup.py build python setup.py install 2) install Pmw http://pmw.sourceforge.net/ extract tarball into /lib/python2.3/site-packages 3) Install pyMol after untaring replace all occurrences of "python2.2" with "python2.3" in $pymol/setup/Rules.cygwin in same file adjust PYMOL_PATH appropriately for your system cd into the top level pyMol directory and issue execute python setup.py build python setup.py install python setup2.py pymol should now be installed HTH Norman -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
