Re: [PyMOL] pymol slow on linux PC

[<hu...@us...>]

Do you have an error like this in your xterm when you launch the program?

freeglut (/home/hteran/tmp/programs/pymol/pymol.exe): Unable to create=20
direct context rendering for window 'PyMOL Viewer'
This may hurt performance.

If this is the case (it was my case) the solution is obscure, but it=20
works for me to launch the program through a kmenu  quicklaunch app=20
created for pymol (I use KDE). I am curious, are you running linux=20
x86_64 distro? If yes, the problem might be with the location of the=20
32-bit libraries (pymol is precompiled for 32 bit).
