You need the Motif library in order to compile Geomview on a Sun.
We are not planning to come out with a version that does not require
Motif anytime in the near future.

You should be able to run our Sun binary, however, on a Solaris
system, even though we compiled it under SunOS.

By all means, if you have an SGI, use the SGI version.  It runs much
faster on and SGI than on a Sun.
