You can't mix IrisGL and OpenGL without *big* problems. I guess it'll
compile and link if you include the IrisGL headers and libs - but I
don't think it'll run.
So, either get the pf*_igl libraries or rewrite your IrisGL code into
OpenGL.
IMHO, it's a very bad idea to develop *anything* in IrisGL anymore because
(IIRC) SGI have plans to abandon IrisGL support completely in the very
near future.
