thanks, John.
I read the release notes and run the following
vmd -dispdev text

it shows:
/homes/zhonghan/install/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUXAMD64: error while loading
shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

then I search the file system and get the location of libstdc++.so.6 :
/lib64/ssa/libstdc++.so
/lib64/ssa/libstdc++.so.6
/lib64/ssa/libstdc++.so.6.0.0

I tried to modify the generated Makefile but it still fails. Is there
a simple way to solve this problem instead of installing a new library
in the default directory with root permission ?
