In principle, you should install performer_eoe on the target
system from the CD-ROM, since Performer could have graphics
or CPU dependent libraries (DSOs). But that's not the case
in 1.2, so you can just copy the files over. performer_eoe
will eventually be distributed with IRIX.

A statically linked Performer binary will run on any machine
with a compatible IRIX. A dynamically linked Performer
binary will run on any machine with libpf.so and libpr.so
installed. The only issue is making sure that your
application's use of Performer is MP safe, i.e. no rendering
calls from the APP process. You can test this on your Indy
by forcing an MP model like pfMulitprocess(PFMP_APP_CULL_DRAW).
