That was a good suggestion. I tried it and unfortunately it still 
didn't work, I kept getting the glibc and libpng dependency problems.

So I decided to start from scratch. I did a 'locate mol' and deleted 
everything related to MOL that I could find. Then I did a fresh 'yum 
install mol', which installed MOL and its mol-kmods dependency. Then I 
ran molvconfig and finally 'startmol -X' and now it works!

I'm typing this in Apple Mail while running Mac OS X 10.3.4 inside YDL 
3.0.1. Pretty cool, and how I can use YDL in a more useful fashion, 
with full access to my emails and documents and other apps from Mac OS 
X without having to reboot just to check something.

Now I'm a happy customer. :)

Thanks everyone for your patience with my newbie questions!
