Re: Pymol installation

You found packaged version of it. If that is intended for use on CentOS then it is definitely a better way to go rather than building from source. Use yum to install it rather than rpm and then it will auto-resolve any dependencies for you (if it can). However, looking at that output, that's probably not going to work since CentOS 6 has python 2.6 not 2.7 - you would need CentOS 7 for python 2.7 as the default python. Perhaps it might work using one of the parallel installable copies of python27 from e.g. the IUS Community repo.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you so much for your help! Finally I have installed python 2.7 and a previous version of pymol (instead 1.8 the 1.6). Thank you!!!

If you are sill interested in installing pymol 1.8.x, here's the direct link for the zip file for svn4166:

I was able to build this version (1.8.5.0) and run it on my EL6 machine.
