[PyMOL] Odd issue with control and shift keys in pymol

[Paul P. <sho...@gm...>]

I've found that all recent versions (1.5, 1.6, non-incentive) of Pymol 
on my laptop running updated Fedora 18 (nvidia drivers) don't allow me 
to use the control or shift keys for selection or editing in the gui. I 
dug out an older version (1.4.1) and it behaved properly. It appears to 
be pymol specific as coot and other programs work fine. Has anyone seen 
this before or have some sort of explanation?

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

I have the same problem. I am using Fedora 18 and PyMOL v.1.5 (from
the repository).

It is annoying. Right now I have to use another computer if I want to
use the more 'advanced' functions of PyMOL.

I found one other person with the same problem who posted to the
Fedora forum, and got no response:

No explanations here.

Hi Paul and Adam,

I can confirm this. The problem comes with two patches that Fedora
applies to freeglut (freeglut_xinput.c). I don't know why they do this,
but if I compile freeglut without those, PyMOL works fine.

Paul, that 1.4.1 version of PyMOL and also Coot, are those linked to the
system glut library (/usr/lib64/libglut.so.3.9.0 on my Fedora 18) or is
there any other glut installation?

Incentive builds of PyMOL 1.6 ship with a working glut library. It's
only used as a fallback if there is no system glut (determined by
setup.sh). So if you are on Fedora 18, just move
"pymol/ext/libextra/libglut.so.3" to "pymol/ext/lib/" to give it
priority over the broken system glut.

Cheers,
  Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the info. I don't have the 1.4 version of Pymol handy at the 
moment, but Coot does use the system libglut without problems.
