Hi all,

I have installed a newer version of VMD 1.8.7beta2 on my labtop running
Ubuntu but I have some problems getting python to work within VMD. The
former command "gopython" is returned as invalid command name and if I type
"python" it uses the python version 2.6.2 which does not seem to recognize
the different modules from VMD.

import VMD

returns the following error message

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "VMD.py", line 27, in <module>
    import animate

How to resolve this? Thanks in advance

All the best

Jorgen
