I would appreciate any help you might provide on the following

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I attempted to install Geomview from geomview-src.tar on an Indigo2

IRIX calisto 5.2 02282016 IP22 mips

I received the following error as the result:


rm -f panel.o panel.c
        ln ../panel.c .
        cc -I.. -O -float -prototypes -I../../common -I../common -DMACHTYPE='"sgi"' -I../../../../../include  -c panel.c
        /bin/rm -f ../crayola || :
        cc -O -float -prototypes -I../../common -I../common -DMACHTYPE='"sgi"'
           (more includes)
        l_s -lm -lmalloc
ld:
Object file format error in: ../../../../../lib/sgi/libforms.a(support.o): cannot mix Elf and COFF objects.
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

make: fatal error.


Is there an Irix 5-compatible version available?

Thanks!
