I just got the CVS source from there, installed it (modifying it according
to the rules posted in this thread), and it doesn't work :-( Just saying the
two lines

>>> from OpenGL.Tk import *
>>> from OpenGL.GL import *

results in a segmentation fault. The abbreviated backtrace is

The line in #1 is 

#1  0x8064211 in import_submodule (mod=0x8124288, subname=0xbfffe973 "GL", 
    fullname=0xbfffe96c "OpenGL.GL") at import.c:1737
1737                            path = PyObject_GetAttrString(mod, "__path__");

My system is a SuSE 6.3 (glibc 2.0), relatively pristine, on ix86. I'm at a
loss here. Anyone have an idea why this happens, or even have a binary
package you might tar up and send to me?

Thanks a lot in advance.
