Hi Jason,
Thanks for your reply. This was indeed a driver problem . Ubuntu had pushed
a natty kernel 
headers<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2011-June/000854.html>
to
lucid users by mistake and that update broke my nvidia 195.36.24 x86_64
driver. To fix it , In desperation,  I updated to the 270.xx series nvidia
driver from the nvidia website which I then used to compile and run pymol .
That configuration gives the errors that I mentioned in my  email.

Coot and the other opengl programs worked well when I was running the 270.xx
series driver , but pymol was compiling but giving the "bad Request" errors.
This is probably related to the the 270.xx problems that other users wrote
in about.

Regardless, I reverted to the 195.36.24 series driver , re-ran the distutils
build and now have pymol 1.4.1 running on my machine


Thanks for your help.

Hari




I have since
