[PyMOL] compiling pymol on Mac intel

[Alan <ala...@gm...>]

Thanks Warren,

I update from pymol from SVN and to python2.5 (Fink), then :

python2.5 setup.py build [OK]
sudo python2.5 setup.py install [OK]
sudo python2.5 setup2.py install [OK]

Then:
./pymol failed with:

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
./pymol: line 2:  9512 Abort trap              /sw/bin/python2.5
/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py $*

[all process above with python2.4]
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
pymol: line 2:  6249 Abort trap              /sw/bin/python2.4
/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py $*

trying with pymol-py24 or pymol-py25 from Fink (1.0-1000) gave this error:

X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Serial number of failed request:  19
  Current serial number in output stream:  20
 PyMOL: abrupt program termination.

I must say that I never ever had problems running any X11 application
in my Mac, only pymol from Fink shows that.

If I use pymol -c build_pep2.py (no X), it works fine.

I hope I can find a solution.

Cheers,
Alan
