Re: [PyMOL] Installation of Pymol ver 1.8

Hello Monu,


>From some limited googling, I think you are missing the GLEW package. If you can tell us you what Linux distribution you are using (e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora) we can help more. FYI, this is a better resource for PyMOL installation tips:


http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Linux_Install


Assuming you are using one of the more popular Linux distributions, you could search for this package using Yum (Fedora, CentOS) or Synaptic (Ubuntu). They should install the required files in the correct paths without you having to link them to a bin or lib directory.


best,

Iain

Subject: Re: [PyMOL] Installation of Pymol ver 1.8

Hi,

I am trying to install Pymol ver 1,8 downloaded from this link http://tubiana.me/how-to-install-and-compile-pymol-windows-linux-mac/. I am getting the following error while installing it:-

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLEW
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1

I checked for the presence of lGLEW library in my system and it is already present,
[root@leelab02 lib64]# rpm -ql glew
/usr/bin/glewinfo
/usr/bin/visualinfo
/usr/lib64/libGLEW.so.1.5
/usr/lib64/libGLEW.so.1.5.5
/usr/share/doc/glew-1.5.5
/usr/share/doc/glew-1.5.5/LICENSE.txt

Do I have to provide a link for this file to /usr/bin ??
