Hi,
       I just installed vmd.1.8.6 following the README file. The
installation was complete. But vmd does not actually work now. When I
type the command vmd, the console window starts but then it
immediately closes by itself without giving any error messages ( or
the error messages are too fast to be seen ). Can some one help me
figure out the problem ?

the sourcecode I downloaded is
vmd-1.8.6.bin.LINUXAMD64.opengl.tar

and here is part of the hardware information:

============================================
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250
clflush size : 64
address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
power management: ts fid vid ttp
============================================

the operation system is LINUX redhat

thanks,
Zhonghan
