Hello VMD users,

I am trying to install vmd 1.9.2 from the "LINUX_64 OpenGL, CUDA,
TachyonL-OptiX
<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Download/download.cgi?UserID=&AccessCode=&ArchiveID=1339>"
platform download.

After editing and running the configure script with:

./configure LINUXAMD64 OPENGL OPENGLPBUFFER FLTK TK ACTC CUDA IMD LIBSBALL
XINERAMA XINPUT LIBOPTIX LIBTACHYON VRPN NETCDF COLVARS TCL PYTHON PTHREADS
ICC

vmd reports the following error:
