Hi,

I recently installed VMD1.8.4 on our IBM cluster (Dual
Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275 and Fedora Core 5
Linux).

VMD1.8.4 crashes immediately after I press the “Load”
button for a selected .pdb file without any error
message (similar to the one observed in VMD-L Mailing
list:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/5379.html).

The output of running VMD within a debugger following
the instructions given by John Stone
(http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/5380.html)
as follows:
