Re: VMD

hi, I have been running vmd on debian since the early days till the last
version, with no problems at all. In all ocasions, I used debian
unstable. I recently switched to a 64 bits machine, and vmd is working
without problems. Most of the vmd installations that I have done were
using the appropiate linux binaries from the vmd site, but I also used
to have a cvs version too that I compiled on debian. Both worked well.
So, just downdload the binaries and give them a try, you'll be gladly
surprise

Best,

Luis Gracia
