Dear All,
After I installed vmd-debug and I saw the missing libraries. It is very
strange that the libfltk*rpm did not install modules properly. After I
cp some /usr/lib/libfltk* from other identical machines to the troubled
terminal, vmd worked fine.
Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely,
Margaret
