[Darwin2k-users] Problems using offroadChassis.

[Atul S. <as...@gr...>]

Hi all,

I recently downloaded darwin2k 0.90 and compiled it on my machine which 
runs slackware 9.1, XForms 0.88 and I use KDE 3.1. I was trying to see the 
components which are provided by Darwin and wrote following sample:

((offroadChassis offroadChassis ((var 5.0 5.0 1 0)
                                 (var 3.0 3.0 1 0)
                                 (var 2.0 2.0 1 0)
                                 (var 0.5 0.5 1 0)
                                 (var 0.5 0.5 1 0))
                                nil))

Following is my command and the output I received:

I am trying to understand what has gone wrong in my example code. Can 
somebody please help me? Your help is highly appreciated. The d2k-demo 
runs properly on my machine.

Thanking you,
Atul.
