Thanks, John!
The pre-compiled version can run without assigning CUDA bin and lib
environment. In the launch Info it tells CUDA accelerator detected:

Info) Creating CUDA device pool and initializing hardware...

Info) Detected 1 available CUDA accelerator:

Info) [0] GeForce GT 750M 2 SM_3.0 @ 0.93 GHz, 2.0GB RAM, KTO, OIO, ZCP

But whether CUDA really works or how to switch between enable/disable GPU I
don't know, and the pre-compiled version seems doesn't support python.
I'll follow the discussions related with compiling VMD on OS X 10.9.

Best,

Zhenquan
