I'm not clear on why you'd need the .NET framework (pymol/python stuff is generally compiled to machine code, not CLR bytecode). One thing to check is that you're using the correct compiler (MS has a dialect of c++ that compiles to CLR bytecode which would probably not work so well as a python module).

As far as I know, unistd.h is a POSIX (unix) header file. I don't know this is available on windows natively (I believe some versions of windows are supposed to be POSIX compliant, but I'm not sure how compilant they are); possibly the pre-processer definations are not being set correctly. I'd recommend either installing mingw or cywin at this point, and compiling pymol from source, then using the same compilers to build the mysql module. Actually, I'd recommend switching to linux or another unix varient (OS X, one of the bsd's, etc); but that may be more trouble than you're willing to go to for this problem. But possibly someone with more experience in windows programming than I am has a better suggestion. Good luck, Pete Pete Meyer Fu Lab BMCB grad student Cornell University
