Dear Mark, Thank you very much from your help. I made mkdir /home/sara/bin  mkdir /home/sara/lib mkdir /home/sara/lib/vmd and then changed the configure script as:# Directory where VMD startup script is installed, should be in users' paths. $install_bin_dir="/home/sara/bin"; # Directory where VMD files and executables are installed $install_library_dir="/home/sara/lib/vmd$install_name"; my unpacked vmd folder is in sara folder and did ./configure but wrote the same previous warning: ./configure: line 13: =: command not found ./configure: line 16: =/home/linux/bin: No such file or directory ./configure: line 19: =/home/linux/lib/vmd: No such file or directory ./configure: line 23: syntax error near unexpected token `{' ./configure: line 23: `if ($ENV{VMDINSTALLNAME}) {' I don't know what should I do?!

In your .login or .tcshrc file, make sure that you have added the /home/sara/bin directory to your path, or define an alias: alias vmd /home/sara/bin/vmd   This will spare you having to edit the configure file.   Putting things in /usr/local is not such a great idea.  Any time you upgrade your system, the /usr partition can get overwritten.   You’ll have to reinstall VMD again and again.  The /home partition is not generally touched in an upgrade.   Mark Cunningham     From:owner-vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu [mailto:owner-vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu] On Behalf Of mohammad agha Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 11:16 AM To: vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu Subject: vmd-l: flashing the VMD   Dear Wang,   Thank you very much from your help, but I have no one to help me.   Best Regards Sara   ________________________________ From:Wang Yi <dexterwy_at_gmail.com> To: mohammad agha <mra_bu_at_yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 9, 2012 8:37 PM Subject: Re: vmd-l: flashing the VMD   Hi there,   To be honest, I think the best way to get help is to find someone around you that is an expert in Linux, or at least have decent experience with the Linux system. It is quite obvious your experience with the Linux system is insufficient. The issues you have are more related to basic uses of the linux system, than to specific VMD uses. So someone around you that really knows how to work with Linux or Mac OS can help you.   Best, ___________________________   Yi (Yves) Wang Duke University       On 2012-5-9, at 上午11:07, mohammad agha wrote: Dear Dr. Kohlmeyer   I changed the version of VMD to LINUX PPC64 Text-mode (Linux PowerPC (64-bit) Text-mode) (VERSION1.9.1)and I installed this one before true and without warning but now, it give me this warning:  ./configure: line 13: =: command not found  ./configure: line 16: =/usr/local/bin: No such file or directory  ./configure: line 19: =/usr/local/lib/: No such file or directory  ./configure: line 23: syntax error near unexpected token `{'  ./configure: line 23: `if ($ENV{VMDINSTALLNAME}) {' Idon't know cause of it, may I ask you to help me, Please?   Best Regards Sara     From:Axel Kohlmeyer <akohlmey_at_gmail.com> To: mohammad agha <mra_bu_at_yahoo.com> Cc: "vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu" <vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu> Sent: Wednesday, May 9, 2012 1:56 AM Subject: Re: vmd-l: flashing the VMD On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 3:52 PM, mohammad agha <mra_bu_at_yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear Dr. Kohlmeyer > > Thank you very much from your help. > My system is 64bit and I am trying to install a 64bit version of VMD. but did you download the correct 64-bit version? since you seem to make your life needlessly miserable by installing an obsolete version of VMD, you have to consider that at this time, VMD would ship in two 64-bit variants, one for Itanium processors (may they rest in peace) and one for it x86_64 processors. my appraisal of the situation remains, that you most likely are trying to install a package for the wrong CPU architecture. axel. > Best Regards > Sara -- Dr. Axel Kohlmeyer akohlmey_at_gmail.com  http://goo.gl/1wk0 College of Science and Technology Temple University, Philadelphia PA, USA.
