Hi VMDers,

I tried to build VMD 1.8.3 from source and after configuration the 'make'
failed with a bunch of errors I've never seen before. Also, trying to do
this has apparently ruined certain critical functionality of my previous VMD
1.8.2 build. The errors were:

Compiling ArtDisplayDevice.C --> ArtDisplayDevice.o ...

Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
