Re: [Update REQ 5217]: unix problem with geomview

[roseman at dimension4.math.uiowa.edu]

THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED.
Thanks to all who helped.

I tried Stuart's suggestion but got no useful information:



In[1]:=
<< Geomview.m
 -- Geomview graphics initialized -- 

In[2]:=
Options[Geomview]
Out[2]=
{DisplayHost -> , MachType -> sgi, 

 

  GeomviewCommand -> geomview}

Any how I followed the clue to look in OOGL.m.

and made the change from this:

$GeomviewPath = "geomview";
$GeomRoot = ".";

(* DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW HERE *)

 to this:


$GeomviewPath = "/LocalApps/geomview";
$GeomRoot = ".";

(* DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW HERE *)


And now it works.
Finally.

of course that doesn't explain why all this was needed.

So for what it might be worth, here is the info that I gathered  
before I did this.  Note: id not not really want to put the binaries  
into /LocalApps, but I wanted to make sure it was on my path.
