Re: [PyMOL] FYI: Compiling Pymol 1.3 (svn trunk) on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

[Marius R. <mar...@gm...>]

This usually means that tk or tcl is not installed correctly.
You could try to google the error. This gives you an idea about the problem
99% of the cases. Also you can double check that everything is installed. $
port installed tk tcl pymol. On a macosx 10.5.8 I get:
pymol @1.3_0 (active)
tcl @8.5.8_0+darwin (active)
tk @8.5.8_0+darwin (active)
Ultimately you could file a bug report with macports or ask on their mailing
list.
