To whomever this concerns,

I am using VMD for LINUXAMD64, version 1.9.4a57 (April 27, 2022) on my WSL.
Previously, I could install the latest NVIDIA driver and that will get VMD
running. However, as I updated to the latest driver for my laptop (555.99),
it returned a segmentation fault. When I run the debugging, it goes like
this:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/lib/vmd/vmd_LINUXAMD64
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Thread 1 "vmd_LINUXAMD64" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff7fd42eb in elf_dynamic_do_Rela (skip_ifunc=0, lazy=0,

After this, I reinstalled the old drivers but to no avail. Can you help me
diagnose and fix the problem? Thank you so much!

Best,
Giang
