Hello,

I have problems running a compiled vmd 1.8.1 or 1.8.2 on a Redhat Linux 7.3.
At startup, vmd writes :
Info) Textures: 2-D (2048x2048), 3-D (2048x2048x2048), Multitexture (2)
Info) Starting VMD text interpreter...

but does not, so it is not possible to type any command.

When gdb-ing the vmd binary, it seems stuck in a select. The trace is :

0x420e19ee in select () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0 0x420e19ee in select () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
#1 0x402a5d44 in _XlcPublicMethods () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#2 0x4020345a in _XRead () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#3 0x40203f1a in _XReply () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#4 0x4005c3ba in glXChannelRectSyncSGIX () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
#5 0x08276bc0 in ?? ()

        Thanks for your help,
        Romaric
