I've experienced exactly the same flat two-tone image problem (and
actually compiled MolMol myself to fix it. NOT fun!). Finally, the
problem turned out to be in the molmol start script, not in the
compilation. I should have mailed Logan about it, but forgot to do it.
Maybe he has some local fix on his system and forgot to change it in the
distributed version. Anyway, in the $MOLMOL/molmol (i.e.
/usr/local/molmol/molmol) file, locate the following section (or create
it if it's not there):
elif [ $ostype = "Darwin" ]; then
arch=darwin
localdev=Motif/X11
elif [...]
Comment out the localdev line, and add
localdev=Motif/OpenGL
glxdev=Motif/OpenGL
To me it seems as if MolMol simply does not know that it should use
OpenGL. It also seems that the fink version by William Scott
(http://chemistry.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/molmol/molmol_on_fink.html) has
these changes setup correctly.
