Konrad, Heads up: there are fundamental threading flaws inherent in Aqua/Tcl/Tk that currently preclude use of PyMOL with them. Basically, MacOS X can't feed events to multiple threads -- just a single thread.
So, your either get interaction with the GLUT GUI, or the Tcl/Tk user interface, but not both : (. The only solution I can think of is embedding PyMOL into a Tcl/Tk widget...not something that is possible yet. By the way, you should be able to build current PyMOL CVS source code directly agaist MacOS frameworks without MacPython. But, like I mentioned above, the end-result isn't optimal -- you get either OpenGL or Tcl/Tk, but not both. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
