Oh yes, there's a C preprocessor symbol you can define to make this work;
we put it in so we could compile X11 code on the NeXT, also Mach-based,
and lacking the System V shared-memory stuff.  Add
  -DNO_SHM
to the SYSCOPTS setting in makefiles/mk.whatever.

To be able to build Geomview, you'll also need Motif libraries; are those
available?  We've never tried compiling geomview with lesstif.
Even without that you'd still be able to test basic graphics capability with
the src/bin/mgexample test program.

You might want to try both the built-in software renderer you get from the
MGTYPE = -DMGX11
setting as well as seeing what Mesa does with
MGTYPE = -DMGOPENGL
MGLIBS = -lMesaGLU -lMesaGL

(both being alternative settings in the same makefiles/mk.whatever).

If you change MGTYPE, you'll need to re-build in src/lib/mg,
as well as removing src/bin/geomview/x11/O.whatever/gvcamui.o and rebuilding
geomview.  Nothing else needs to be remade.

Let us know how it goes.
