Hello guys:

  I found that my self compiled VMD have the same problem which
reported in the VMD maillist

http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/19942.html

I setup tcl/tk environment correctly and all plugin were compiled without any errors. Most of plugin work
very well except "timeline" as shown in the above maillist. I am just wondering how can I solve this?

I don't obtain any error messages when VMD start up until I open "timeline" with the same messages:

vmd > X_QueryColors: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 0xff000000
XRequest.153: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 0x212
XRequest.153: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) 0x5200062
XRequest.153: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 0x212
XRequest.153: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) 0x5200065
XRequest.153: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 0x212
XRequest.153: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) 0x5200066
XRequest.153: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 0x212
XRequest.153: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) 0x5200067

I also download precompiled VMD, and the "timeline" is OK.

  thank you very much
best wishes
