<br>
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<br>

export VMD_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/pet/vmd/1.9/plugins/molfile<br>

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

The file format of protein.dcd is not a known trajectory format to
GROMACS.<br>
Please make sure that the file is a trajectory!<br>
GROMACS will now assume it to be a trajectory and will try to open
it using the VMD plug-ins.<br>
This will only work in case the VMD plugins are found and it is a
trajectory format supported by VMD.<br>
<br>
No VMD Plugins found<br>
Set the environment variable VMD_PLUGIN_PATH to the molfile folder
within the<br>
VMD installation.<br>
The architecture (e.g. 32bit versus 64bit) of Gromacs and VMD has
to match.<br>
