Hi Cameron,

I did run into a similar problem on RH9. Error message I got was different but it also came from a glut library. I was able to get around the problem by downgrading glut to the version that came with RH8.0 (you just force install glut and, if you need to, glut-devel). RedHat knows about the problems related to glut libs but I don't think they understand yet what's causing them...

Cheers,
-Viktor

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone's experienced problems with PyMOL compatibility with an NVidia graphics card? I ran PyMOL on a RedHat 8.0 system without problems, but recently changed to rh9.0(shrike), and I get the following lines of error when I try to run PyMOL from the prompt (and pymol doesn't start):

"""

Some system info.: Red Hat 9.0 (Shrike; 2.4.20-13.9smp kernel) with an NVidia Quadro4 700 XGL graphics card. NVidia driver info. is: NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 nvidia.o Kernel Module 1.0-4363 Sat Apr 19 17:46:46 PDT 2003
GCC version:  gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

From the last line of the error, I suspect the problem has something to do with incompatibility between my rh9 installation and python interpreter as utilized by PyMOL? But I don't know enough to fix it....
Has anyone else seen (and fixed?) this problem??
