please see the manual:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug/node193.html
or the vmd script itself. i personally prefer changing the
vmd script, so i don't have carry a ton environment variables
around and set them only to override the (current) defaults.

please provide more details: which package did you download
what is your platform exactly (e.g. what is the output of
'uname -a' and 'cat /proc/cpuinfo') ?
does this happen during 'make install' or when calling vmd?

no surprise. the vmd scripts sets a bunch of environment variable that
tell VMD where to find auxiliary binaries and scripts that are required
for this. if you execute vmd_LINUX directly, this does not happen.
cheers,
