[ REQ 6039]: Geomview

[matthieu at tigger.cs.colorado.edu]

Hi there, I'm working with the sun4 precompiled version of Geomview on
a Sun Sparc running SunOS 5.5. I've tried running a .gv file which
tries telling Geomview to take a regular snapshot. I would then get
the error that lisp cannot execute the unknown command "snapshot". My
line looked like the following in the .gv file:

(snapshot default "snap.ppm" ppm)

Maybe the snapshot command isn't available on suns, I'm not sure. So I
then tried changing this to rib-snapshot. The line looks like:

(rib-snapshot default "snap.rib")

This would work a bit longer but it would core dump before finishing.
Is this a known problem? Should I just try to find an SGI to run
Geomview? Thanks very much.
