Thanks, Jeremy!

Now, I have a geomview version that uses only MacPorts' X11 libraries:

But geomview still doesn't work. Starting geomview with the "-gdb"  
option gives the following error:

Warning: Widget must be a VendorShell.
Error: attempt to add non-widget child "dsm" to parent "gvx" which  
supports only widgets

This is a message from openmotif and it seems to be related to <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18114 
 >. The Motif FAQ <http://www.faqs.org/faqs/motif-faq/part9/section-29.html 
 > says that this error comes from linking the libraries in the wrong  
order, but I don't see that this is the case here as libXm is the  
first library.

I linked geomview against the GL libraries provided by the mesa port,  
because they use libX11 from MacPorts and not /usr/X11/lib/ 
libX11.dylib like the GL libraries in /usr/X11. But I assume that mesa  
does not use hardware accelerated OpenGL as it does not use the OpenGL  
system framework. How can I use hardware accelerated OpenGL in X11  
applications?
