[PyMOL] Pymol error when open/save files

[Павел К. <pa...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'm installed Pymol version 1.2 from repository on Mandriva Linux  and
I'm constantly getting following errors when trying to open/save files

Error: 1
<type 'exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError'> Exception in Tk callback
  Function: <bound method Normal.file_open of
<pmg_tk.skins.normal.Normal instance at 0x7f2c67cc55a8>> (type: <type

    return _active[_get_ident()]
<type 'exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError'>: 'ascii' codec can't encode
characters in position 12-20: ordinal not in range(128)

after this error Pymol stop responding

I tried to reinstall Python, Tk and Pymol but it does not help.
Does somebody know how to fix it? I'd be very grateful for help.

thanks in advance
