Thanks for your immediate action -- I just got the libraries.
Unfortunately it still doesn't work. 

gvx.C3D does find all it's libraries, but our X-Server does not have
the GLX-Extension, which gvx.C3D promptly reports and exits.

I am not sure, how the GLX-extension gets into the X-Server (I am
happy, that I have at least an idea, what an extension is :-).
But maybe it is loaded dynamically, then you should have something
like

# GLX extension
class="XEXTENSION" name="GLX"
       sharedObject="???"
       initFunc="???"
       preLoad="NO";

in your "/usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig" - file.

If this is true, I'd need the library denoted as sharedObject as well.

But maybe it's much more complicated and I have to beg our money
people to buy the Media (just about 400 $) and get a working
installation. Ten years later it'll be granted, I am sure.

	Thanks anyway for your help,
