Hi

thanks for all your responses.

I've already checked out version 2.2 from the CVS+the matching vtkdata
project.

Compiles fine under HP-UX 10.20 with the Starbase library. The 3D speed is
amazing for such old hardware. Great! I've also compiled the same release on
one of my older Sun's that have Sun XGL library acceleration. This was also
no problem. All examples work very well.

BTW. I've also tried to compile VTK version 4.0 under HP-UX 10.20. There is
a bug in cmake that prevents it from compiling. I've already fixed it for me
and will send a report to the CMake guyes.

Thanks,

Lakmal

It looks like VTK version 2.3 was the last version with Starbase support
in it. You can get it using cvs with the following repository

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK login
password is just vtk
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK co vtk
cd vtk
cvs update -r release-2-3-0 -dP

(there are plenty of cvs docs on the web if you are not familiar with
cvs)

We might support DirectX in the future and of course at one point we did
support Starbase. But the cost benefit of supporting Starbase dropped
off.
