Mike,

If you are a 230,330,550 linux customer, you can get ProPack 1.3-VW
which is what is supported and contains sgivpro for all supported
kernels, 2.2.14 and 2.2.15.

ProPack 1.3 which is different from ProPack 1.3-VW was not intended to
support graphics on the visual workstation. Even if portions of it
were there, it is not the same version that's in 1.3-VW. I suggest
you call your SGI support person and discuss methods for you to obtain
an SGI supported solution. Feel free to continue to CC me on the
issue.

Thanks,
jaya
