Hi Pete,  Are you using the latest XFree86  4.10?  If so I had to hack
the makefile in FreeBSD to get it to compile.  It turns out that the
latest X also includes OpenGL which conflicts with Mesa or OpenGL
packages installed as extras.

What I really wish for is a viewer in Python.  Unfortunately, I think its
beyond my Python expertise.   If we had one, then Windows users could
also use it.  As it is now, only Unix type OS's can be used for the
viewer.

Rob.
