Hello,

I found your email address on a web page - I hope
I'm mailing my question to an appropriate place,
sorry if not.

I have a program running on an SGI Octane.  It uses Motif
for the GUI, it has a display area where I display an
image using OpenGl, and it has an Inventor viewer
for some 3D information.  Everything works fine.

I am porting that program to Linux, and downloaded
OpenInventor for Linux from the SGI web site.
The installation went fine, and the program build went
fine.  The program runs, and everything appears to be working
correctly, apart from one thing - images don't appear in the
OpenGl display area (even though everything is working as
normal and the required calls to OpenGL are being
made - just not actioned).

I have another program which is identical to
the first in all ways, except for not using
Inventor.  With that program, images are displayed
correctly in the Linux version.

I used ldd to check the libraries used by the two programs,
they are identical (apart from the extra Inventor libraries
for the first program).  Could you suggest anything
which might be causing the problem?

Thanks for any help!
Paul.
