The bug tracking system for the Open Inventor project will be up shortly.
Please look for the appropriate links in the sidebar on the project web pages.
The following components will be available:

  apps: various demos and example source code.
  build: build environment.
  doc: documentation in 'man' format.
  lib: database, interaction, and nodekit components.
  libSoXt: X11/Motif GUI components.
  misc: any other components not covered by the above.
  
Before you file a bug, please follow the guidelines below:

  1. Check the README and FAQ files provided with the distribution to make
     sure the problem is not already known.
     
  2. Look through the mailing list archives to see if the problem has been
     brought up before. The archives are updated nightly and can be found at
     
       http://oss.sgi.com/projects/inventor/mailing.html
       
  3. Please read the documentation at
  
       http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/bugwritinghelp.html
       
  4. Follow the instructions for creating a new Bugzilla account at
  
       http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi

Also, be careful to distinguish between actual bugs and requests for 
enhancements (RFE). For example, if the source fails to build on the currently 
tested platforms (IRIX and Red Hat Linux), then it's a bug. If it doesn't build
on any other platform because of missing prerequisites or incompatible compiler
options, then it's a request for enhancement.
