Miguel,
  Ok, if you've got the OpenGL version installed on your machine, try
doing these commands, and then email me the output and we'll figure out
what's going wrong:
  ldd /usr/local/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUX

  csh (make sure you're running in cshell..)
  source /usr/local/bin/vmd (will startup then abort as before)
  /usr/local/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUX
     (will start&abort, but you'll see the error messages in your terminal...)
 
Let me know what happens, and send me as much error text as you can.

Thanks,
  John Stone
