Lloyd, I finally managed to get geomview to compile and run under cygwin. However, savi through geomview appears to have a few issues. The main problem comes in when you try to animate the constellations. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. Many times if you load one constellation and animate it, then stop, load a different one, animate it, then stop, then load a third one, and try to animate it, the savi window crashes. An error is printed to the console, but the camera window stays up. Geomview is still running. Now, this same thing can happen if you let the animation run too long for some of the constellations. I had the most problems with Teledesic. Many times the errors were of the form: Error reading "[1]Savi": can't seek back far enough (on pipe?): > ... BINARY -----^ Couldn't read LIST in "[1]Savi": error reading embedded object [ditto] In "[1]Savi": geometry: ignoring additional arguments (expected 2) [ditto] geometry: geometry expected in arg position 2 (got nil Other times they were some sort of transform error. This would happen while running the animation. Right then savi would sometimes crash, depending on how long the animation ran for. At any rate, the other thing is that savi runs without the need for an x-server, without the geomview capabilities. However, geomview will only run under the single window x-server. So, running startxwin for multiwindow mode and trying to run geomview doesn't work. The x-server crashes. I can only run geomview from single window mode using mwm or twm. Since savi exists outside of the x-server, the moment I click anywhere inside the x-server window the savi window disappears. So, you have to click on it on the taskbar. That's not really a problem but it's good to be aware of that when you're wondering where the heck the savi window went to. Well, that's that. Cheers! --B.
