Thanks, the problem has been fix.

I succeed to install inventor except for one point : the FL library.
The problem is that I use compilation option related to my O2
configuration : -mip4 and -n32.

But in the inventor tar we don't have the source of the IFL.
We got only libFL.a which seem to be o32.
So i've got a compilation message error saying that it expect o32 stuff.
Is it possible to get a n32 version of libFL.a or the source or do I have
to recompile all inventor using o32 mips1 option, or is there a compilator
option to link a mix of n32 and o32 library ?

Uh-oh.
libFL.a is a Linux lib.
libFL is a font library from SGI. It's not open-sourced. Therefore they
provide only a binary version for Linux and Solaris/Sparc.
(On windows I've used a replacement lib and a wrapper from Ang Bodi)
On Irix you don't need an extra distribution of this lib because it's part of irix.
see /usr/lib32/libFL.so
If it is not installed grab your irix installation cds and install
eoe.sw.gfx.

I've got another problem which is a bit out of topic in this mailing list.
The application I try to compile use volumizer and inventor but also a library
called IFL. I find the IFL library for run time environement on the sgi site but
if I want to compile this application I need to get the API/SDK.
Do you know where I can get it ?

IFL is the image format library.
It's part of ifl_eoe.sw.c++
I expect that you need the header files which are normally located in /usr/include/ifl
They are part of ifl_dev.sw.c++

Copied from http://www.sgi.com/products/evaluation/6.x_volumizer_1.2/ :
If you don't already have this installed, IRIX 6.2, 6.3 & 6.4 users may install it from the IMAGEVISION LIB 3.2 DEV OPTION CD. IRIX 6.5 users may install it from the IRIX 6.5 Development Libraries CD.

If you don't have ifl_dev you are stuck.

Cheers,
