Dear Norman, Axel and Users,

Thank you very much for your valuable time.

Axel,

I think my operating system is LINUX 64. It showed me when using
$ uname
Linux
$ uname -a
Linux majid-H67MU3 3.8.0-37-generic #53~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 19
21:37:54 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I also tried both two LINUX packages

vmd-1.9.2.bin.LINUX.opengl.tar.gz
vmd-1.9.2.bin.LINUXAMD64.opengl.tar.gz

But when I ran them I faced same error

/usr/local/bin/vmd: 480: exec: /usr/local/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUX: not found

Norman,

The outputs when implementing the following command

majid_at_majid-H67MU3:/usr/local/lib/vmd$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/vmd/
total 48
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2020 Feb 7 11:46 Announcement

Any comment would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

MajiD
