Dear VMD community,

Recently I have built vmd 1.9.3 from source code on my PC (OS Ubuntu).

According to the compilation guide (
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/doxygen/compiling.html#compiling),
firstly I installed the dependencies (tcl8.5.0 and netcdf-c-4.7.3) and vmd
plugins.

I need the simplest text-mode version so I used the following options in
configure.options file:

LINUXAMD64 IMD NETCDF COLVARS TCL PTHREADS SILENT

The compilation went without any trouble but after the installation I
obtained the following message:

cp: cannot stat '../lib/stride/stride_LINUXAMD64': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '../lib/surf/surf_LINUXAMD64': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '../lib/tachyon/tachyon_LINUXAMD64': No such file or
directory
Make sure /usr/local/bin/vmd is in your path.
VMD installation complete. Enjoy!

Now, when I try to launch VMD I get the following error:

rlwrap: Command not found.

Could you tell me what I have done wrong?
