Hi
Sometime back I had a problem starting VMD by double-clicking the icon in application folder. It turned out that it is to do with the X11 dying on the launch. The solution to this problem is do delete the environment.plist files in the directory ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. You should restart the system for the changes to be effective.

HI
I was running the vmd 1.8.7 in mac osx (10.6.4) but suddenly last few days I am not able to start the program from the icon in Application folder. I can start it from accessing the contents of vmd directory and then double clicking the vmd launcher. I was wondering if it is problem with X11 and do I need to reinstall the X11 or if any one has other suggestion that would be really great.

Regards
Raman
