Hey Axel,

Thanks for your suggestion. Here is what I did. I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in
.cshrc and sourced it. Now I echo to get:

>>echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home1/goutham/lib

The directory has a copy of the shared library:
>>ls /home1/goutham/lib/
libadt.so* libdeven.so* libfftw.so* libforce.so* * libGLU.so.1*
libGLU.so.1.3* * libmdapi.so* libmdio.so* libmgrid.so* libpmetest.so*
librandom.so* librfftw.so* libsimen.so* libstep.so* libtimer.so*

Now when I try vmd I get the same error:

 vmd -dispdev text
/projects/Biogroup/VMD/vmd185/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUXAMD64: error while loading
shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

I still get the same error! Am I missing something?

Thanks
Goutham
