Hi all.

I can't seem to get the python interpreter working on my laptop. My
office machine (also 10.4) gives similar error messages (can't fine
Numeric, TkInter etc.) but in the end I am able to successfully do
stuff there (draw graphics primitives, load molecules, etc.). Here I
cannot even get a "dir(VMD)". Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks much.

Craig
