Hello:

  I found another tachyon problem when I compile VMD 1.9.1 from source code:

Here is my configurations:

################ LIBTACHYON
# OPTIONAL COMPONENT: Built-in Tachyon ray tracing support
# This may be commented out if not required.
$libtachyon_defines = "-DVMDLIBTACHYON";
$libtachyon_dir = "/soft/vmd-1.9.1.src/lib/tachyon";
$libtachyon_include = "-I/soft/vmd-1.9.1.src/lib/tachyon/src";
$libtachyon_library =
"-L/soft/vmd-1.9.1.src/lib/tachyon/compile/linux/libtachyon";
$libtachyon_libs = "-ltachyon";
@libtachyon_cc = ();
@libtachyon_cu = ();
@libtachyon_ccpp = ('LibTachyonDisplayDevice.C'
                       );
@libtachyon_h = ('LibTachyonDisplayDevice.h',
                       );

and it failed with messages:

ln: failed to create symbolic link `./foobar': File exists
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -ltachyon
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [vmd_LINUXAMD64] Error 1

thank you very much
best
