I created a directory: /opt/freemol with two subdirectories: /opt/freemol/bin /opt/freemol/licenses which contain the files: /opt/freemol/bin/mpeg_encode.exe /opt/freemol/licenses/mpeg_encode.txt I created the file: pymol.sh with this content: #!/bin/bash FREEMOL=/opt/freemol export FREEMOL pymol I ran pymol.sh, but the problem remained the same.
