Installing on mannose

* Download ext-0_99rc1-src.tgz from here

* Download pymol source from here

* Extract pymol from the archive and remove the archive. This will create a folder named pymol-***. tar zxf pymol*tgz && rm pymol*tgz.

* Move ext-*tgz under pymol-* folder. mv ext-*tgz pymol-* && cd pymol-*.

* Extract ext-*tgz here and remove the ext archive. This will create a folder named ext-*. tar zxf ext-*tgz && rm ext-*tgz && mv ext-* ext.

* Go to ext folder and edit build.com script to check for the correct targets. cd ext && vi build.com.

* Execute build.com script to build all external dependencies for pymol. ./build.com.

* Go back to the pymol directory and copy a relevant Rules.arch file from setup folder to the main folder. cd .. && cp setup/Rules.linux Rules.make.

* Edit Rules.make to make sure the PYMOL_HOME and python version are correct.

 * I had an issue here as this script was referring to python2.3 in the ext folder, though the ext I had contained python2.4.

* Build pymol. make.

* Copy the pymol.com.template script from setup folder to the pymol folder and edit PYMOL_HOME in it.
