Subversion install of pymol on Apple Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Here are the steps

svn co https://pymol.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pymol/trunk/pymol pymol

python setup.py build

You may get an error that it cannot locate the fontconfig.h header file which is part of freetype. Link the System header file to the include directory under the subversion tree since that directory ( create it if it does not exist) is in the include path during the build. Also some X11 libraries are probably not in your include path to put them there without editing scripts just symlink the 10.6 SDKs to you ext/lib directory as shown below

1. ln -s /usr/X11R6/include /Users/hari/pymol/trunk/pymol/ext/include
2. ln -s  /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/X11/lib /Users/hari/pymol/trunk/pymol/ext/lib

Once build is complete you should  follow the instructions given the

 After running:


     python setup.py install

     

 Please run, to complete the installation:


     python setup2.py install


 To uninstall PyMOL, run:


     python setup2.py uninstall
