This was clear to me. I only took the chance to check
if there was anything new about installation of vmd on
Linux Debian.

The first question I posed from my own examination of
the system - when installation did not proceed
smoothly - was were to set a link to the Debian
library. I got no answer.

I never had problems in installing any computational
program, provided I was told were to set links when
the compilation was not a debian package. I must add
that anytime there was an initial problem, Debian was
never at fault. I wonder whether this is a different
situation (I will get a prize for discovering a bug).

No, I did not anything more about this installation,
just because I don't know where vmd is searching
libraries and where links may be set.

Thanks
