Bryn & others, By design, the PyMOL Open-Source Code only targets Linux and other 100% open-source operating systems (e.g. FreeBSD). So to compile Open-Source PyMOL on Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows, you need to pretend you are running Linux by making use of X11 and the various GNU-compatible free-software porting systems (e.g. Fink, GNU-Darwin, Cygwin, etc.).
Also by design, the current precompiled PyMOL builds for proprietary operating systems (i.e. Microsoft Windows & Mac OS X) are themselves proprietary products offered by DeLano Scientific LLC. In other words, if you are willing to pay to use a proprietary operating system, then we feel you should be equally willing to support the PyMOL project financially via paid subscription access to our current builds for proprietary platforms. That, indeed, is how we make ends meet while still keeping the PyMOL code open-source. For those who are not able to support the project financially, well, there are still plenty of older PyMOL builds for Mac & Windows floating around the internet. They just don't include the latest fixes & features. Of course, without a subscription, you don't have access to all the documentation -- only the public portion ( http://pymolwiki.org ). Please visit http://pymol.org/funding.html if you wish to purchase a subscription. Cheers, Warren PS.
