RE: [PyMOL] Linux install problem

[DeLano, W. <wa...@su...>]

Gareth,

   That is an unusual error.  I suspect it has something to do with your =
symbolic links, which isn't the most reliable way to solve the =
dependency problem.  Instead, delete those symlinks, and modify =
Rules.make to seek out the system libraries in the usual location.  =
Rules.linux-rh7x should be your starting point for Rules.make.

Cheers,
Warren
