Well, I've managed to get pymol-0.99rc6 (with ext-0_99rc1) almost working on suse 10.2/amd64 and figured I'd post my work-arounds so that next time someone searches the list archives they won't have to figure them out again (sorry if I'm duplicating things...I wasn't able to find anything); as well as one problem I'm stuck on currently.
Building ext-0_99rc1 manually using linux shared lib targets: Numerous tcl/tk compile errors (which appear for static targets as well) which seem to end up in fstatfs argument incompatibilities. Compiling tcl/tk 8.5a5 with --prefix pointing to the ext target directory and removing the tck/tk 8.4.11 targets from build.com resolves this. Building pymol-0.99rc6: Update setup/Rules.make and setup/pymol.com.template for new tcl/tk versions (and python2.4 from ext-0_99 instead of python2.1). After these changes, pymol appears to function normally with the exception of isomesh. Using a pml script that loads a model and map normally on another system (with identical pymol and ext versions) displays the model with no problems; however the map isomesh is not displayed. Any suggestions for where I should start looking to fix this? Thanks, Pete Pete Meyer Fu Lab BMCB grad student Cornell University
