Because you are actually compiling IL code, you do need to purchase the
development option for IL. IL is very useful and if you are going to lots of
image processing / image manipulation its definitely worth purchasing.

However, I just placed the IL compiled version of the libpfsgi library on
sgi.com in ~ftp/pub/libpfsgi{-g}.a (this should enable anonymous ftp)...

If you compile perfly with one of these library's, then the il_eoe subsytem of
IL should be enough to run the ptu loader. If you want to change/fix anything
in the ptu loader you should get the il_dev option.

Ahha! I put ilgettile.o and ilgettile-g.o in the same directory on sgi.com.
 This should enable you to fix/modify everything about ptu except the actual
way it retrieves tiles using IL.
(just use ilgettile.o and never modify ilgettile.c)

Hope that helps everyone...
