The error below shows that you don't have gcc, which means you have to install Apple's Developer tools to compile pymol.
That said, the easiest way right now is probably using macports. Follow the instructions at http://www.macports.org/install.php for installing macports, then you can run "port install pymol" and you should be good to go. -David On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 10:54 AM, Young-Jin Cho <youngji...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear pymol users, > I had to install pymol on my Macbook.
