on my machine /usr/local/bin is part of the default path,
so there is nothing else to do. if i install a version
of VMD somewhere else (e.g. a test version in my home
directory), i usually do a 'mkdir -p $HOME/bin' and then
'ln -s ~/some-vmd-dir/vmd ~/bin/vmd-test'.

do a 'hash -r' and the shell finds it.

ciao,
  axel.
