QuteMol doesn't open at all on my Macbook Pro (running MacOS10.4.10). The graphics is ATI Radeon X1600 which is listed as supported. The error reported in the crashreporter is as follows:

I believe this CANNOT work on a standard OSX installation since there's no /sw directory by default, let alone /sw/lib/libpng.3.dylib.

Fink installs things into /sw . I installed the latest version of libpng.3 from Fink and tried again to launch QuteMol. It crashed again on launch with the following error:

Is "version 20.0.0" a typo in the code for "version 2.0.0"?

    I also find the QuteMol will not start up on my Intel Mac (MacBookPro). The Chipset meodel is GeForce 8600M GT, which is not listed as supported - but I am not sure how often you update your list. Any chance this will be supported? I am an avid user of Jmol in a variety of educational and commercial contexts, and would very much like to compare QuteMol's spacefill renderings.
