Hi,
  I believe this is caused by a dynamic loading problem with psfgen on IRIX.
Can you try running the 32-bit version of VMD on your SGI and see if you still
encounter the problem? This is a particularly odd problem that has cropped up
as a result of a particular version of the SGI compilers used to build VMD.
Let me know if you still have this problem with the 32-bit version of VMD.

  John
