Hi,

When I install from the precompiled 1.8.7 VMD, I get most
files installed as root, but some files/directories are installed
as the regular user, who su'ed into root:

/usr/local/lib/vmd/libcudart.so.2
/usr/local/lib/vmd/plugins/
/usr/local/lib/vmd/scripts/
/usr/local/lib/vmd/shaders/

and everything recursively in these directories are also owned
by the regular user.

This occurs with
   vmd-1.8.7.bin.LINUXAMD64.opengl.tar.gz
   vmd-1.8.7.bin.LINUX.opengl.tar.gz

Is this on purpose, or is this a "slip-of-the-tongue" by the install script?

I usually 'chown' all these files to 'root:root' after install, which does not
seem to cause any trouble.

Rob.
