Dear Mark,

Thanks for replying. Yes I am using bash. Yes the bash recognize the set
path. When I do echo, I got the follwoing

echo $VMD_PLUGIN_PATH

/home/pet/vmd/1.9/plugins/molfile

What can be wrong? Maybe the program is not in this folder? Which program is
searching for this pluging

Thanks for your help.

Hi Gromacs Users,

I am using the gromacs analysing tools to analyze my DCD file produced by
NAMD. I set up the VMD_PLUGIN_PATH before running however I got the error
that the VMD_PLUGIN_PATH was not set up. Can anyone give me a hand? Please
see below the details. Thanks for the help

export VMD_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/pet/vmd/1.9/plugins/molfile


Are you using a shell where this works? What does "echo $VMD_PLUGIN_PATH"
say afterwards?

g_gyrate_d -f protein.dcd -s ../IN/protein.pdb

The file format of protein.dcd is not a known trajectory format to GROMACS.
Please make sure that the file is a trajectory!
GROMACS will now assume it to be a trajectory and will try to open it using
the VMD plug-ins.
This will only work in case the VMD plugins are found and it is a trajectory
format supported by VMD.

No VMD Plugins found
Set the environment variable VMD_PLUGIN_PATH to the molfile folder within
the
VMD installation.
The architecture (e.g. 32bit versus 64bit) of Gromacs and VMD has to match.
