Hi Paul and Adam, I can confirm this. The problem comes with two patches that Fedora applies to freeglut (freeglut_xinput.c). I don't know why they do this, but if I compile freeglut without those, PyMOL works fine.
Paul, that 1.4.1 version of PyMOL and also Coot, are those linked to the system glut library (/usr/lib64/libglut.so.3.9.0 on my Fedora 18) or is there any other glut installation? Incentive builds of PyMOL 1.6 ship with a working glut library. It's only used as a fallback if there is no system glut (determined by setup.sh). So if you are on Fedora 18, just move "pymol/ext/libextra/libglut.so.3" to "pymol/ext/lib/" to give it priority over the broken system glut.
