Hi,
I followed a post from the mail archive about building vmd from source
in order to properly set the tcl location in the configure script [1].
I did that, however, I still get the error that tcl.h no such file or
directory. Any idea?

mahmood_at_orca:vmd-1.9.3$ grep tcl-threaded configure
$stock_tcl_include_dir="/home/mahmood/namd-2.12/tcl-threaded/include";
$stock_tcl_library_dir="/home/mahmood/namd-2.12/tcl-threaded/lib";
mahmood_at_orca:vmd-1.9.3$ ./configure LINUXAMD64 CUDA
