Morri has a good point:
The standalone pymol-0_xx-bin-linux-libc6-i386.tgz binary builds
should be capable of running on virtually any current x86-based Linux
system: RH, SUSE, Debian, Fedora, or whatever.
So, if you're having trouble with compilation or use of
distribution-specific packages on Linux and simply want to use PyMOL as a
standalone tool, then downloading those binaries is an easy way to get
going. Installation is trivial and you don't need root privileges.
1) tar zxvf pymol-(version)-bin-linux-libc6-i386.tgz
2) cd pymol
3) ./setup.sh
4) ./pymol.com
Cheers,
Warren
FYI: those builds are built using GCC 2.96 under RedHat 6.2 for maximum
compatibility -- they're not the fastest PyMOL binaries in the world, but
they do run without a hassle.
