[ REQ 6103]: Compile problems

[ajh at scs.leeds.ac.uk]

Trying to use Geomview 1.5 on an IRIX 6.3 machine. Tried the standard iris 4
precompiled version, it won't run - when I type "geomview" I get

/home/dream/comir/tools/Geomview/bin/sgi/gvx: Syntax error at line 6: `('
unexpected.

This version works fine on all our IRIX 5 Indy machines and our IRIX 6.0.1
PowerChallenge parallel processor. I think the main difference with the new
machines is that they use "elf" instead of "a.out" format (I don't pretend to
know exactly what this means, but it's to do with object code formats and
linking, I think).

So I tried downloading the source version and compiling it. It goes OK for a
while but eventually I get the following stream of errors:

In fact, I get the same error when I try to compile the source on our irix 5
boxes too.

Any ideas how I can get round this problem?
