It's because I forgot to include the necessary files for POPE in the CVS
when VMD 1.9 was built (I put them in on 5/8 though). I'll send you the
files off-list shortly.

Subject: Re: vmd-l: Problem building POPE membrane with plugin using
CHARMM36

Hi,
  This looks to me like it might be a bug in the membrane builder plugin
where it is not correctly handling filenames that contain spaces.
I will have a look at it today.

Cheers,

Could anyone please give me some insight into what is wrong? Or could this
be a bug in VMD 1.9? If it helps, I can successfully build a POPC membrane
with the plugin using C36 and also a POPE membrane using C27.
