Francois-Xavier,
  Try changing the ifdef on line 241 of VMDApp.C to force Tk initialization
to preceed FLTK, (like we do for 64-bit MacOS X) and try and re-run your test:

240 // XXX This is currently only used for 64-bit MacOS X builds using Cocoa...
241 #if 1 || defined(ARCH_MACOSXX86_64)
242 // Tcl/Tk _must_ be initialized before FLTK due to low-level implementation
243 // details of Cocoa-based Tk and FLTK code required for 64-bit MacOS X.
244 uiText = new UIText(this, strcmp(displaytype, "TEXT") != 0); // text user interface
245 #endif

Cheers,
