Actually, that was a bug in the compilation of libInventorXt.so that
should be fixed now (inventor version 2.1.5-6). The problem you're seeing
is that the libInventorXt.so that the inventor loader links against, uses
Xm calls. Therefore, when linking that library, it should be linked
with -lXt and -lXm. pfconv does not refrence any Xm calls, so it doesn't
link against -lXm. Again, the problem should be fixed in that latest set
of Inventor rpms. You'll also need to grab the libpfiv.so on my reality
web page (http://reality.sgi.com/flynnt).

hope that helps,
tom
