which version of X11 are you using? The latest builds of xorg completely break indirectGLX which is what you are reporting. We at LLNL have been working on this bug for several months now and don't have a resolution. Our workaround is to use mesa3d to do the rendering in software and it stinks...

Hello VMD users,

I am trying to install vmd 1.9.2 from the "LINUX_64 OpenGL, CUDA, TachyonL-OptiX<redir.aspx?REF=iyF_SLjsfoMJi3-V9y-koNkToXuQmoNbc_YQkNM-9W8WgKhfZZXTCAFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmtzLnVpdWMuZWR1L0RldmVsb3BtZW50L0Rvd25sb2FkL2Rvd25sb2FkLmNnaT9Vc2VySUQ9JkFjY2Vzc0NvZGU9JkFyY2hpdmVJRD0xMzM5>" platform download.

After editing and running the configure script with:

./configure LINUXAMD64 OPENGL OPENGLPBUFFER FLTK TK ACTC CUDA IMD LIBSBALL XINERAMA XINPUT LIBOPTIX LIBTACHYON VRPN NETCDF COLVARS TCL PYTHON PTHREADS ICC

vmd reports the following error:
