Dear Cesar,
  Try skipping the "make depend" step, and if you are in fact building
the pre-release versions of VMD 1.8, you'll need to build from CVS based
sources, since so many things are being changed presently. (plugins ABI
has already changed since the last VMD 1.8 pre-release was made available)
You should not normally need to build from source unless you are compiling
on a platform that can't run our binary distributions. If you're building
from source code, I'd recommend that you either go with VMD 1.7.x or
that you build from CVS if you're using the current VMD 1.8 source tree.

Thanks,
  John Stone
