[geomview-users] NIST Measure module crashing

[Christopher O'B. <cjo...@nc...>]

Geomview users,
I originally intended to address my concern to the Wulffman developers at NIST, but none of the email addresses work anymore. 

I am currently having trouble picking facets with the Measure module (http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/wulffman/measure/index.html). After launching the measure module and right or left clicking on a shape generated with Wulffman, I do not see any points being highlighted as in the user manual. Also, right-clicking twice on the model causes the Measure module to close.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Regards,
Chris O'Brien

Notes for compiling on Max OS X:
I encountered some difficulties compiling Geomview, Wulffman, and Measure 1.2.5p1 on my Mac (i686 darwin 11.4, a.k.a. OSX 10.7.4) with gcc 4.2 and the X11R6 implementation included in Apple's latest developer tools. One minor issue is that some of the warning options are not applicable to gcc 4.2, but it only required that I remove them in the makefile. The most difficult part was that the latest Geomview release (1.9.5) no longer generates liboogl.a. Assuming that it's functionality was subsumed into libgeomview.a, I changed the makefile to look for libgeomeview.a rather than liboogl.a, Measure compiled without error.
