We do not distribute the X version of Geomview in binary form for SGIs
since we assume the majority of users will only want to use the GL version.
If you really want the X version running on an SGI, what you can do is
compile it from the source distribution.

That's available from ftp://ftp.geom.umn.edu/pub/software/geomview-src.tar.Z

You will need to edit the file Geomview/makefiles/mk.sgi and set the
variable GVTYPE = X11 and the variable MGTYPE = -DMGX11

Then, follow the rest of instructions necessary to perform the build of
Geomview and you should get a gvx executable which has a motif interface
and uses X11 graphics, not GL for rendering. It will not be nearly as
fast as the GL version but it will work on an x-terminal. If you want to
use Geomview on a different architecture (Sun or HP for instance) you may
instead want to get a binary distribution for that machine from the
ftp://ftp.geom.umn.edu/pub/software/geomview/ directory.

Hope this helps,
