[PyMOL] pymol install fails - freeglut issues

[<an...@bi...>]

Hey all,

sorry for taking to the list what seems to me a trivial problem.  But I=20
can't get over it and I'm afraid to modified my system too much since I=20
don't know what I'm doing.

Basically, what I've done is download the pymol sources=20
(pymol-0_98-src.tgz) from delsci.com.  I made sure I've installed all=20
the requirements (python2.3.4, Numeric, Pmw, tcl8.4, tk8.4.7, libpng,=20
zlib, freeglut2.2).  This is on a standard Fedora Core 3 system, nothing=20
fancy.

I run `python2.3 setup.py install` and get a bunch of error messages=20
relating to the absence of GL/gl.h and GL/glu.h.  Supposedly, freeglut=20
combines them into GL/glut.h.  So I change all occurences of GL/gl.h and=20
GL/glu.h in the pymol source to GL/glut.h.  More errors!  It turns out=20
that freeglut is also asking for GL/gl.h and GL/glu.h.  I have the faint=20
notion that Mesa provides GL/gl.h and GL/glu.h, but aren't Mesa and=20
freeglut supposed to do the same thing?  Both provide libGLU.so.  Should=20
I install Mesa?  And wasn't there some FireGL/xorg/Mesa incopatibility=20
issue?


Any suggestions?


Andreas
