Re: Mma notebooks on NexT and Geomview

[slevy]

Invoking Geomview from a Mathematica notebook works, but only if everything
is configured correctly.  The main problem is in having Mathematica find
the necessary programs (mainly "math2oogl" and "geomview") on its search path.
When running Mathematica from the notebook interface, its path includes only
the standard directories; the relevant one is /usr/local/bin.  So if math2oogl
and geomview are placed in /usr/local/bin, then OOGL.m should be able to find
them; otherwise, it won't.

An alternative to dumping everything into /usr/local/bin is to change
Mathematica's default search path.  This is set in (/usr/local/bin/)mathremote
on versions <= 2.1, and in /usr/local/bin/math since 2.2.

A couple of pages down -- line 35 of our copy of "math" -- is a line

    PATH=$mathdir/$machdir/Display:$mathdir/$machdir:$PATH

You could append other directories to this;  ours reads

    PATH=$mathdir/$machdir/Display:$mathdir/$machdir:$PATH:/u/geom/bin

Does that help?
