By default the Xwindows version is built. If your machine does not support XWindows you can try make noxwin instead of make. You can build the OpenGL version of Molden by typing make gmolden.
For a VMS machine you have to do @make_vms instead of make and define the symbol molden, for example:

   molden == "$molden_dir:molden.exe"

You can test the X-Window version of molden by typing:

molden test/gamess.test > log           # a gamess output file
molden test/pdb.test > log              # a pdb file
molden test/* > log                     # all files form the test directory
                                        # the first file will be read
                                        # the others can be read by clicking
                                        # the "read file" button
molden                                  # the current directory can be accessed
                                        # via the "read file" button

	set display/create/node=yourhost.domain/transport=tcpip
	molden [.test]gamess.test > log.txt
