Hello Ryan, I do not get any output in the console when I run mdff sim. This is what I get in what regards volutil: >Main< (1GC1) 25 % package require volutil 1.3 >Main< (1GC1) 26 % volutil Warning) Temporary directory c: is not writable. Defaulting to current directory D:/mdff/1GC1 I have also changed the temporary directory with set env(TMPDIR), but with no result: mdff sim and mdff griddx produce no results. Thanks, Catalin ________________________________ From: Ryan McGreevy <ryanmcgreevy_at_ks.uiuc.edu> To: Catalin Buiu <cbuiu_at_yahoo.com> Cc: "vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu" <vmd-l_at_ks.uiuc.edu> Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 7:00 PM Subject: Re: vmd-l: Problems with MDFF tutorial 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".

First, when generating a simulated density map (mdff sim command) no output was generated, even if intermediary .dx file were created.

Again, there is no output for the mdff griddx command, i.e. no .dx file is generated. >I would very much appreciate any help in this matter.
