Dear John,
I tried to install vmd, but failed.
The following are my steps and error messages,
please help me for installation.
I am sure that I am using a 64-bit machine as I have the result from
uname -m as x86_64.
And I found that the LINUXAMD64 directory is just empty...

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Murphy

1. tar -zxf vmd-1.9.1.src.tar.gz
2. cd vmd-1.9.1/
3. mv ../plugins/ . (Somehow the plugins directory is not in the vmd
directory, I just moved it in
    , and this solved the problem of "VMD plugin directory not found")
4. ./configure LINUXAMD64
5. cd src
6. sudo make install
