Hi folks, I was using PyMol with no problems about a year ago. I believe that my PyMol version was in the 0.9x series. I was using Ubuntu Linux 6.06 on a Pentium IV machine. Since then I have upgraded to a new multi-core motherboard, and Ubuntu Linux 8.04. The Linux repository has a PyMol v1.0 package, so I downloaded that first. It installed with no apparent errors. Running it, though, is another matter. The command window appears, but the molecule display frame appears for just an instant, and then vanishes. If I load a PDB file, again the molecule display frame will appear -- and then disappear again. I uninstalled PyMol v 1.0 and installed PyMol v 1.1 directly from the PyMol web site. This made no difference to the program's behavior. When I run PyMol from the terminal, here's what appears in the terminal window: ----- ...$ pymol PyMOL(TM) Evaluation Product - Copyright (C) 2008 DeLano Scientific LLC.
