[PyMOL] Linux install problem

[Gareth S. <ga...@eb...>]

I am having a problem installing PyMol 0.80 on my (Redhat 7.1) Linux box.

I already have Tcl, Tk, Python 2.1, zlib and libpng so I just made libglut 
from the ext-0.79 package.

  cd $PYMOL_PATH/ext
  ./build.com glut-linux

The GL libraries are in strange places on my system, so I made the 
following links:

  ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGL.so
  ln -s /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGLU.so
  ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a \
     $PYMOL_PATH/ext/lib/libGLcore.a

Then I built the PyMol program

  cd $PYMOL_PATH/pymol
  vi Rules.make
  make

The 'make' succeeds, but when I execute pymol.com, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File 
"/ebi/research/thornton/ligands/gareth/src/pymol-linux/pymol/modules/launch_pymol.py", 
line 19, in ?
    import pymol
  File 
"/ebi/research/thornton/ligands/gareth/src/pymol-linux/pymol/modules/pymol/__init__.py", 
line 137, in ?
    import _cmd
ImportError: /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6: shared object not open


This shared object file exists - is there any reason why this error should 
occur?

P.S. I don't have root access on this system
