Hello,
We use CASTpyMOL.pyc file, for Linux, on Suse. It works fine.

The .pyc files are python compiled code and they should work only for=20
python and PyMOL versions they have been compiled for.
So, CASTpyMOL.pyc file is for PyMOL 0.98 and must be moved in the=20
PYMOL_HOME/modules/pmg_tk/startup/ directory.

Try a binary version of PyMOL, it embeds its own python interpreter.

Maybe this will resolve your problem.
