hello:

  I am trying to compile VMD but it failed with messages:

I've compiled tachyon and put it at $vmd/lib/tachyon which contains:

libtachyon (folder) libtachyon.a tachyon

and I made changes for the file: $vmd/configure as:

################ LIBTACHYON
# OPTIONAL COMPONENT: Built-in Tachyon ray tracing support
# This may be commented out if not required.
$libtachyon_defines = "-DVMDLIBTACHYON";
$libtachyon_dir = "$vmd_library_dir/tachyon";
$libtachyon_include = "-I$libtachyon_dir/include";
$libtachyon_library = "-L$libtachyon_dir/libtachyon";
$libtachyon_libs = "-ltachyon";
@libtachyon_cc = ();
@libtachyon_cu = ();
@libtachyon_ccpp = ('LibTachyonDisplayDevice.C'
                       );
@libtachyon_h = ('LibTachyonDisplayDevice.h',
                       );

but the problem is still there....

thank you very much
best
