Hello, I'm new in linux and Fedora 12 (64bits)

I need to install VMD but I'm having problems.

I've already downloaded VMD in "Downloads" folder and then untar by terminal
via command
" tar xvfz vmd-1.8.7.bin.LINUXPPC64.text.tar.gz -C /home/vmd2/"

The folder "/home/vmd2", at first was empty.

Then, in the terminal, I go to the directory /home/vmd2/vmd-1.8.7/

And type the command ./configure

but it says:

[root_at_cristy vmd-1.8.7]# ./configure
using configure.options: LINUXPPC64 IMD LIBTACHYON TCL PTHREADS SILENT

and I don't know what to do. I've tried with this comand

[root_at_cristy vmd-1.8.7]# ./configure LINUXPPC64 IMD LIBTACHYON TCL PTHREADS
SILENT

And apparently there's no problem, but when I go to the "src" folder and
type "make install" It says:

[root_at_cristy src]# make install
cp: cannot stat `../lib/surf/surf_LINUXPPC64': No such file or directory
Make sure /usr/local/bin/vmd is in your path.
VMD installation complete. Enjoy!

And VMD is not installed!

What I'm doing wrong?

What should I do?

Can anyone help me?

How can I get a good installation?
