Subject: Thanks, here is the file...

One problem is that you can't use '~' in this file.  You need
to specify your directories by absolute paths.  I've included a
copy of the file below which I have edited to remove the use
of '~'.  You should change the line that says
   GEOMROOT= /u/home/zhenyu/Geomview 
to whatever is the correct absolute pathname of that directory
on your system (I just gave this as an example).   Then try
it again and let us know how it goes.

--Mark

# Local definitions.
# GEOMROOT is the absolute pathname of the directory where you've placed
# the Geomview source; a typical value might be /usr/local/src/Geomview.
# Its setting is built into the "geomview" shell script and (on the NeXT)
# into Geomview.app/CONFIG.gv.  It's used for finding the the following items:
#   - the example data files, living at ${GEOMROOT}/data/{geom,groups,...}/*
#   - the main geomview startup script, ${GEOMROOT}/data/.geomview
#   - the directory of external modules, ${GEOMVIEW}/modules/${MACHTYPE}/*
#
# You *must* edit this file to set the value of GEOMROOT before  
# running 'make install'.

GEOMROOT= /u/home/zhenyu/Geomview 

# NOTE: The variable MACHTYPE has already been set by the time this file
# is read; it's the type of computer we're on ("sgi" or "next").
# You can use it in defining things here, but don't redefine it.

# BINDIR should be the pathname of the directory into which executable
# programs are to be installed.  This should be a directory that is on
# users' $path, like /usr/local/bin.

BINDIR = ${GEOMROOT}/Geomview/bin 

# MMAPACKAGEDIR should be the pathname of the directory into which the
# Mathematica packages (OOGL.m, etc.) are to be installed.  This should be some
# directory that is on Mathematica's search path ($Path variable).
# The "math" shell script defines the directories in $Path; on the NeXT,
# they include /LocalApps/Mathematica.app/Library/Mathematica/Packages,
# and on the Iris, <math-installation-dir>/Packages.
# $Path also includes the user's home directory; if only one person will
# use the mathematica-geomview connection, you could set MMAPACKAGEDIR
# to that user's home directory.
# If you don't have Mathematica, leave MMAPACKAGEDIR set to ${GEOM}/mathematica.

MMAPACKAGEDIR = ${GEOM}/mathematica

# MANDIR should be the pathname of the directory into which Unix-style
# manual pages are to be installed.  The man pages will actually go into
# subdirectories of this directory with names like "man1", "cat1", etc.

MANDIR = ${GEOMROOT}/Geomview/man

# NOTE:
#
# BINDIR, MMAPACKAGEDIR, and MANDIR are used by "make install" and not
# by "make all" or "make".  In all cases, the directory (and all
# necessary parent directories) is created if it does not yet exist.
# These must have values in order for "make install" to work.  If you
# want the keep the installation completely within the source tree,
# use the following values:
# 
#    BINDIR = ${GEOMROOT}/bin/${MACHTYPE}
#    MMAPACKAGEDIR = ${GEOMROOT}/mathematica
#    MANDIR = ${GEOMROOT}/man
# 
# You should then arrange for ${GEOMROOT}/bin/${MACHTYPE} to be on
# users' $path and for ${GEOMROOT}/mathematica to be on the Mathematica
# search path ($Path variable).

# You can skip the rest of this file if you are not installing
# on a NeXT.

# For NeXT installations, APPDIR should be the pathname of the
# directory into which the Geomview.app application will be installed.
# "make install" will install it there.  This is also used by other
# scripts, in particular, the "geomview" script that is installed in
# BINDIR, so if you move Geomview.app you should update APPDIR here
# and re-install.

APPDIR = /LocalApps
