Yeah, that is probably the source of all my current problems...
I believe the Mac OS X LDView is version 1 (Alex Raftis wasn't sure
what version of code he started with when he ported it). The current
version is 3. I believe it is possible to compile version 3 on Mac OS
X, but it requires X11, and several extras, most notably KDX. I
haven't gotten around to installing these and trying it out, but I am
planning on trying it and at least working out any compile problems so
that those willing to install/use X11/KDX can run the latest LDView.
I would really like to see a native version of LDView on Mac OS X. I
would especially like to see a screen saver version of it. I do not
have the skills to port it though.

| As I'm getting back in the swing of all things ldraw, I tried out the Mac OS X version of LDView ((URL) Pretty cool viewer - works well on my G4 running 10.3.7. No crazy interface artifacts.
