William,
  If you have it running on OSX but you get no main window, either
you didn't include the FLTK-related configure flag when you compiled,
or you're running the binary outside of the MacOS X application bundle,
and it's not running the "menu main on" command at startup. You should
either be able to run "menu main on" by hand, put the binary into a copy
of the application bundle, or add the necessary FLTK configure flag,
depending on which scenario is applicable, assuming that's the only
remaining issue you have with that build.

Cheers,
  John Stone

The recently-suggested #ifdef change in VMDApp.C gets me to a runnable executable, but it's missing the main molecule-list/etc window and only bring up the OpenGL window. I really should back off to a bare system and start from scratch, but by the time I get around to that, I'll probably be upgrading to 10.8, and have to go through the whole mess again.
