Christian,
  I would suggest checking which libs VMD is finding at runtime to
make sure they look correct. I would also suggest checking that
you're able to correctly run simple demo apps using your
local CAVElib installation. With those two things out of the way,
then I'd check VMD running in windowed mode, and finally running
it with "vmd -dispdev caveforms" which will also enable the GUI windows.
Do you have a "simulator" mode config for your cave? I'd start with
that, and progressively work up to running on all the walls. Is
yours a single-system cave, or a cluster?

Cheers,
  John Stone
