When you run mdff sim, you should see output in the VMD startup console
similar to:

Info) volmap: Computing bounding box coordinates
Info) volmap: grid minmax = {24 0 27} {77 65 65}
Info) volmap: grid size = 53x65x38 (0.5 MB)
Info) volmap: writing file "/usr/tmp/mdff_sim8268286412706732.dx".
MAP <- "/usr/tmp/mdff_sim8268286412706732.dx"
MAP :: gaussian blur (sigma = 2.5, regular)
MAP :: pad by x:9 9 y:9 9 z:9 9
MAP -> "test.dx"

Stats for MAP:
  WEIGHT: 1
  AVERAGE: 0.0565795
  STDEV: 0.15797
  MIN: 0
  MAX: 1.03341
  PMF_AVG: 0.0459067

If you are having the problem I suspect you are, you will not see any of
the lines beginning with "MAP". In the VMD console, could you please type
the following and let me know what happens:

*package require volutil*
*volutil*
