Hello Performers:

I have a perplexing problem, that I hope is a just a simple user error.

I have recently ported my Performer app (using the _ogl libs) to Iris 6.3 and
Performer 2.1 running on an O2 and can no longer invoke the Performer loader
for loading Multigen 15.2 .flt files. My app has just simply been calling
pfdLoadFile(<filename>) with no other special code.

Previously, when running under Iris 6.2 and Performer 2.0.2 (also using _ogl
libs) if I wanted to have Performer invoke .flt loaders for Multigen 15.2 files
I would only have to set the following environmental variable in a startup
script as per the Performer programming manual: ie:

"setenv PFLD_LIBRARY_PATH <directory pathname containing loaders for Multigen
15.2 files> "

During initialization I would get info stating that the Multigen 15.2 loader
was being invoked.

Now my problem: After rebuilding my app and executing under Iris 6.3 and
Performer 2.1 my new executable is either 1) not recognizing the
PFLD_LIBRARY_PATH or 2) not recognizing the libraries located in
PFLD_LIBRARY_PATH, as the notice that I get during initialization is that
the Multigen 14.2b loader is being invoked.

Now to really confuse matters, I can run the same source code but built under
Iris 6.2 and Performer 2.0.2 (built on an RE2) on the O2 with the new IRIX and
Performer DSO's and successfully get the Multigen 15.2 loader to be invoked.

I'm sure that I have just missed doing something simple during the setup to run
the binary built on the O2.. Any insight or help on this matter would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Oh and PS: I get the same results with the .flt loaders when running
different builds of the OGL version of perfly...
