HI,

I am trying to compile vmd-1.9.3 on Ubuntu from the source code. However, I encountered the following problem.

sudo make install
if [ ! -d "/usr/local/lib/vmd" ]; then \
mkdir -p "/usr/local/lib/vmd" ; \
fi ; \
if [ ! -d "/usr/local/bin" ]; then \
mkdir -p "/usr/local/bin" ; \
fi ; \
if [ ! -d "/usr/local/lib/vmd"/doc ]; then \
mkdir -p "/usr/local/lib/vmd"/doc; \
fi
cp ../Announcement "/usr/local/lib/vmd"
cp ../README "/usr/local/lib/vmd"
cp ../LICENSE "/usr/local/lib/vmd"
cp ../doc/ug.pdf "/usr/local/lib/vmd"/doc
if [ -f /usr/local/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUXAMD64 ]; then \
           mv -f "/usr/local/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUXAMD64" "/usr/local/lib/vmd/OLD_vmd_LINUXAMD64" ; rm -f "/usr/local/lib/vmd/OLD_vmd_LINUXAMD64" ; fi
cp ../LINUXAMD64/vmd_LINUXAMD64 "/usr/local/lib/vmd"
if [ -d "../lib/redistrib/lib_LINUXAMD64" ]; then \
cd ../lib/redistrib/lib_LINUXAMD64; tar -cf - ./* | \

fi ;

echo Make sure "/usr/local/bin"/vmd is in your path.
Make sure /usr/local/bin/vmd is in your path.
echo "VMD installation complete. Enjoy!"
VMD installation complete. Enjoy!

Previous notes in the mailing list have suggested moving the plugin directory into the vmd- directory and also assiging a symbolic link for a plugin directory. I did both, but none of them worked.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sree
