Hi everyone Having previously used RedHat I've just put Mandrake 9.1 on my latest machine (ease of installation, disk partitioning). To my surprise (naively perhaps) the standard RH-derived RPMs on the pymol site lead to chains of missing dependencies that I don't reach the bottom of. Eventually I got pymol working kind-of with
pymol-0.82-2mdk.i586.rpm preceded by python-numeric-22.0-2mdk.i586.rpm I dealt with some Tkinter error messages by installing the appropriate rpm but now I have Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", lin e 74, in exec_str exec s in globals(),globals() File "<string>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", lin e 129, in launch_gui __import__(invocation.options.gui) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/__init__.py", li ne 22, in ? from PMGApp import * File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/PMGApp.py", line 18, in ? from AbstractApp import AbstractApp File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pymol/modules/pmg_tk/AbstractApp.py", line 16, in ? import Pmw ImportError: No module named Pmw How to proceed? 2) More generally, am I doomed to use out-of-date versions of programs (pymol and perhaps others), having made myself dependent on Mandrake-specific rpms that won't keep up with new releases? The dependency chains when trying to install RH rpms were quite tricky and included some complaints about libraries that I could even see in /lib ! That completely flummoxed me.
