Hi Rob, Roy and everyone,

I've had a similar problem today with the 3DS loader. It turned out that the
loader could not be loaded because it has libil ver. 2.0 on its liblist (run
elfdump -L libpf3ds_ogl.so to see the liblist). This means that the 3ds shared
object was linked on IRIX 6.2, and had a -lil in its ld command. When I compiled
the 3ds loader source, available in /usr/share/Performer/src, it didn't have any
-lil in the ld command, and so was created without that reference in the liblist.
I assume that the same problem
happens with the iv loader, if you are running on IRIX 6.3 or 6.4.
The solution to this can be linking the libraries without the liblist section,
when they should run on 6.2 and up.
