Thanks,

I cannot compile the VMD without install tcl,netcdf and tk.

It is run now .

But What I Really need Are
  1- Run VMD with FreeVR And I did.(Is This step was needing the compilation?)
  2- Add a tool And use a mouse as a wand.
     - This step need a configuration (and ofcourse I can not use a mouse).
     - If I use the simulation wand in FreeVR. How can I use it to move the molecule.
       - The VMD not response to the mouse button(Is it?).
       - Is this simulation wand has the same function as a tool.

I Need a movie for A running VMD With FreeVR. This may help me.
   

Thanks

you cannot use old molfile plugins with a new version of VMD.
the whole set of plugins is distributed with the sources, and you
have to compile them first. please check the instructions on how
to compile VMD from sources more carefully. it is all documented.

the current build system of VMD is optimized for portability and
consistency across platforms, which mean, that most libraries are
build for VMD in a separate directory and linked statically. if you
want to use system libraries, you will have to adjust makefiles and
flags. i'm doing this for fedora based machines and you may
get some hints from the rpm spec files that are uploaded to the
VMD biocore project.

hope this helps,
