The following parameters control where and how VMD is installed
after compilation. They do not have any effect on how VMD is
compiled. It is easiest to change these at the same time
other parameters are being changed, so the configure script need only
be run once. Edit the file configure.parameters in the main working
directory to change these settings.
- INSTALLBINDIR (default=/usr/local/bin)
The directory where scripts
and utility programs are installed. This should be a directory which
is in the path of all users interested in running VMD.
- INSTALLLIBDIR (default=/usr/local/lib/vmd)
A directory in which VMD data
files and architecture-specific executables are placed. This
directory should not be in the path of users running VMD.
- INSTALLNAME (default=vmd)
VMD uses a shell script to run the proper VMD executable for the given version of Unix (the
script also sets some environment variables and starts an xterm running to act as the VMD console). INSTALLNAME
is the name given to this shell script, and will be the command users
type to run VMD. When the program is
installed, the file bin/vmd is then copied to the file
INSTALLBINDIR/INSTALLNAME.
