RE: [Update REQ 5669]: Compilation problems with Geomview

Following-up to my previous message about this version crashing when
trying to change the face color of a model, I should also mention that
it crashes in a similar fashion after saving a postscript snapshot
(with Save).  The snapshot looks good, however.

I got the Motif file above, renamed it gvx-motif, and placed it in
the same directory as the FORMS version of gvx we're using now.  Then
I copied the geomview script, named the copy geomview-motif, and
changed line 51 from
  : ${GEOMVIEW_GVX=${GEOMROOT}/bin/$MACHTYPE/gvx}
to
  : ${GEOMVIEW_GVX=${GEOMROOT}/bin/$MACHTYPE/gvx-motif}
so the Motif version would be executed.  Everything worked fine
until I tried to change the face color of the model, and then it
crashed with the following error message:

GL:  X ext error:  major req = 70, minor req = 0, err code = 8 
ERROR #93  Error in communication with window server: ERR_WMANIPC

Am I missing something?  Thanks for the help.

				Sincerely,
