One solution is to use the NCAR Graphics 4.0 binaries that we
generated on an R8000 SGI here. If you are already licensed for NCAR
Graphics 4.0, then we will be happy to ftp these binaries to you (we
must work through your site representative or site installer,
however). Please be aware that the HLU library is available with this
port, but it still has some bugs to be worked out. Also, this
specially compiled version of NCAR Graphics is still undergoing some
testing, but seems to be pretty stable at this point.
