You have two options:
  Regular, released source is available from
    pub/software/geomview/geomview-1.5.0-src.tar.gz

  Or, there's a pre-release of the next version of geomview at
    priv/slevy/gvoglsrc.tgz

Each is a gzipped tar package.  Each has installation documentation in the
file Geomview/INSTALL after unpacking.  I think there may have been some
changes made in the linux code since geomview 1.5.0 was released,
so you may actually have an easier time with the gvoglsrc.tgz package.

Tim Rowley mentioned at one point that there may need to be a change in
Geomview/makefiles/mk.linux according to the version of gcc you have.
(Try "gcc -v".) If it's at least 2.7.0, it should say

SYSLIBS = -lstdc++

If gcc is 2.6.x or before, Geomview/makefiles/mk.linux should instead say

SYSLIBS = -liostream
