Dear everyone:

   I install vmd on one linux machine (ubuntu 10.04). The vmd works very
well.

   In my machine (windows xp) , the vncviewer has been used to connect to
the linux machine with a graphic display. In one terminal, i type the
command "VMD." However, i get the error message as follow. What is wrong?
