I've compiled vmd on a 'lamp' G4 running linux,
and it appears to be running correctly.

The setup is:
distribution: Gentoo 1.4
glu=1.3
glx=1.2
linux=2.4.20-ppc-r2

with the configuration flags:
LINUXPPC OPENGL FLTK TK TCL PTHREADS

I'm not sure if that's a reasonable set of flags,
since this is my first attempt to play with vmd

I ran into a couple of issues:
In OpenGLExtensions.C,
#include "GL/glx.h"
needs GLX_GLXEXT_PROTOTYPES defined in order to include the prototypes.
I guess there is a versioning issue of opengl relative to the binary builds?

Also, I found that in 'configure'
$fltkopengl_defines = @opengl_defines
which sticks a zero in the compile line if FLTKOPENGL is set as a flag.
I guess that flag is obsolete?

Thanks for the new toy,
Alex Peyser
