Stefano,
  See the note I already sent you a few minutes ago. You will not
be able to run any of the the new versions of VMD on your Redhat 9
system, as your operating system is simply far too old. The only way
you would be able to run a current VMD build on this machine is to
compile from source. I'd strongly recommend that you consider upgrading
your operating system since Redhat 9 is no longer supported or maintained
anymore. If that's not possible, then compiling from source is your
only other option.

Cheers,
  John Stone
