Hey,

 

vmd consists of more than only the startup script located in /usr/bin. So to
completely remove the old one, which isn't really necessary, you'd need to

 

rm /usr/bin/vmd; #not VMD

rm -r /usr/local/lib/vmd*; #or similar

 

To install you might need to be root for the "make install" only, as normal
users may not write to /usr.

 

so:

 

untar

change to vmd dir

./configure

cd src

sudo make install

Subject: vmd-l: Problem by removing vmd 1.9.1 and installing 1.9.2.

 

Dear all,

I already installed the vmd 1.9.1 on ubuntu 12.04. Now I would like to
install the vmd 1.9.2. I used the following commands to uninstall the 1.9.1.

1. $ /usr/local/bin

2. rm VMD

I installed the vmd 1.9.2 by the following commands

1. untar vmd1.9.2-linuxamd64-opengl.tar.gz

2. su

3. ./configure LINUX

4. exit

5. cd src

6. sudo make install

After that I evoked vmd, surprisingly found that the vmd 1.9.1 is opened.

I would be appreciated if anybody help me to figure it out.

Thanks in advance

MajiD
