Re: [Update REQ 6031]: External modules

To get the libraries mentioned in the manual, yes, you would need to
get the source distribution and compile it yourself.

It's of course not essential to use the Geomview/OOGL libraries to write
programs that interact with geomview.  In case you're familiar with
Tcl/Tk, there's a sample program which demonstrates bidirectional
communication, including picking, in
  ftp://geom.umn.edu/priv/slevy/geomview-picker.tcl

To use this you'd need to have tcl/tk installed -- it's available from
ftp://ftp.smli.com:/pub/tcl.

You might want to try the latest beta release of the geomview source:
it's now up for FTP from geom.umn.edu as

   priv/slevy/geomview-161b6-src.tar.gz

I haven't tried it on a Dec Alpha, and it's likely not everything will
build; it's probably best to use "make -k" when building it.
