[PyMOL] Re: Installing Pymol on SuSE-Linux 7.3 fails

Marc,

I'm the person, who build the rpm.  I'm using Red Hat and package works
flawlessly (as far as I need).

That line is strange.  Do you really have _cmd.py file???
There's no such file in rpm.  Neither in my site-packages/pymol.

This might be the cause of malfunction.

Other generic recommendation would be to rebuild rpm from src.rpm.  That's
simple: just issue
        rpm --rebuild pymol-xxx.src.rpm
