I am having a problem installing PyMol 0.80 on my (Redhat 7.1) Linux box. I already have Tcl, Tk, Python 2.1, zlib and libpng so I just made libglut from the ext-0.79 package.
cd $PYMOL_PATH/ext ./build.com glut-linux The GL libraries are in strange places on my system, so I made the following links: ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGL.so ln -s /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGLU.so ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a \ $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGLcore.a Then I built the PyMol program cd $PYMOL_PATH/pymol vi Rules.make make The 'make' succeeds, but when I execute pymol.com, I get Traceback (most recent call last): File "/ebi/research/thornton/ligands/gareth/src/pymol-linux/pymol/modules/launch_pymol.py", line 19, in ? import pymol File "/ebi/research/thornton/ligands/gareth/src/pymol-linux/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", line 137, in ? import _cmd ImportError: /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6: shared object not open This shared object file exists - is there any reason why this error should occur?
