Hi,
  If you're using Python 2.5.1, you'll want to use the current VMD
CVS source tree and not the old VMD 1.8.6 source code. That should
alleviate the majority of the errors I saw below. Give it a spin
and let me know if you need assistance. The CVS tree is accessible
via the instructions here:
  http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/doxygen/cvsget.html

Cheers,
  John Stone
