[Florian Haberl]

Hi,

i downloaded it from vmd website as told, but than it doens`t emerge 

mv vmd-1.8.3.src.tar.gz /usr/portage/distfiles
emerge vmd

>>> emerge (1 of 1) sci-chemistry/vmd-1.8.3 to /
!!! Files listed in the manifest do not exist!
.ChangeLog.swp


greetings,

florian

Looks like an old swap file has crept in. Try this:

ebuild /usr/portage/sci-chemistry/vmd/vmd-1.8.3.ebuild digest

and then try to emerge the package again.

Bugs usually go to bugs.gentoo.org.

Cheers

Hi Florian,

Thanks for noticing and sorry for the inconvenience.
I just fixed this in portage CVS and things should be fine
after a re-sync in an hour or so.

best,
Markus

Hi,

thanks much for the VMD ebuild... I was curious, as I could not get this 
to work when I had VMD installed manually, is there a way to run VMD 
using a different OpenGL library, ie specifically the FireGL binaries 
provided by ATI, rather than resorting to the software MesaGLX?

Yep, there's a way to build it so that it uses libGL rather than trying
to use libMesaGL or something silly like that -- in fact, there are
binaries on their site that do exactly that already, and our ebuild also
does it.

The only thing you need to do on Gentoo to use a different libGL is
switch your OpenGL implementation using opengl-update.

HTH,
Donnie

Thanks for the reply...i had originally installed the binaries....never 
built it from source...but it seems that I'm getting the same problem 
rebuild as before. This inquiry is probably better directed towards ATI 
or the makers of VMD, but it detects fireglx module, recognizes my card 
even, but the console window just dies without the VMD block letter 
display ever coming up. Other applications seem to run with rendering 
just fine...I'm rather new at this linux stuff...i was wondering wat is 
the best way to capture the console window output easily prior to its 
premature exit?

best,
alden

If you just type vmd from an open terminal, you should get some output.

Do you have direct rendering working? Try `glxinfo | grep direct`.

Thanks,
Donnie

Hi Alden,

I've seen this happen in the past with the nvidia drivers and
it was often due to permission problems.

You could first try running VMD in text mode to make sure
it works

[markus@despina] vmd -dispdev none

If this works, strace on the VMD binary should give you a clue 
what might be going wrong,

[markus@despina] strace /usr/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUX


best,
Markus
