*Dear Bashir,Thanks for your help, I have tried it according to your
guideline in two different way. Following is the results.1. I changed the
configure file as below:*

*$install_bin_dir="/weiping/vmd/bin";$install_library_dir="/weiping/vmd/lib/$install_name";*

*and then I input the command line just as you have said, the output is
below.*

*but when I input vmd, there is no vmd screen appear also..... and the vmd
is in my path. SO through above trials, even though the result shows that
the VMD installation complete, but I don't know the reason why it doesn't
work properly, maybe you have many suggestions for this, I would very
appreciated for that.*

Have a good day.

Weiping.
