It should be enabled. I do not believe it involves additional dependencies. It is an important feature of VMD for those who do molecular dynamics (MD). IMD allows for interactive MD simulations (if one also installs NAMD). To enable IMD, simply replace the following line in the ebuild: local myconfig="LINUX OPENGL FLTK TK TCL PTHREADS PYTHON" by local myconfig="LINUX OPENGL FLTK TK TCL PTHREADS PYTHON IMD" It compiles fine on x86 (with or without namd installed) markusle@gentoo.org 2006-11-08 06:07:30 0000 Hi Stephane, Thanks for your email and great to hear that people are using VMD! IMD is a pretty cool tool, particularly if you have a haptic device to provide you with real time force feed-back. I've used it many times. You are absolutely correct in the fact the IMD can be enabled "for free" and I'll change the ebuild correspondingly as soon as I get to it. best, Markus markusle@gentoo.org 2006-11-09 06:09:46 0000 IMD is now enabled in vmd-1.8.5. Thanks, Markus
