If this indeed is the case (i.e., if you are using the 10.3 or 10.4-transitional branch of fink), I recommend you do the following:
1. sudo rm -fR /sw 2. Download and install the latest Xcode, X11.app, and be sure the X11 SDK with the latest Xcode gets installed (it should by default). 3. Get the fink binary installer from the fink page and use that. 4. Issue the following commands: fink scanpackages fink selfupdate fink update-all 5. Activate the "unstable" branch of fink and install pymol-py25 You can speed things up considerably and avoid having to compile stuff if you want to use my (unofficial) distribution.
