Hello:

I have been trying to run IED in vmd1.8.3 (on LINUX) and have had a
similar problem as mentioned in a previous post:

http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/4717.html

VMD is somehow calling a Tk 8.0 header file..although I have
installed TCL/TK 8.4 in my own directory and have set the PATH so that
the correct tk.h can be found. Note: the Tk 8.0 header file that I
think VMD is finding exists in the /usr/local/include directory and I
cannot alter it.

What I get in VMD:

vmd > gopython
Info) Text interpreter now Python
>>> import Tkinter
>>> Tkinter.TkVersion
8.0

Although if I open the python (specified in PYTHONHOME/PYTHONPATH) in
VMD this is what I get:

vmd > python
Python 2.2.3 (#15, Aug 21 2005, 20:54:55)
[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Tkinter
>>> Tkinter.TkVersion
8.4000000000000004

Does anyone know how I can get VMD to find the correct Tk header files?

Thanks,

Kristina :)
