If you are looking for a statically linked version of InterViews 3.0
for your Sun 4, a precompiled and linked distribution is available for
anonymous FTP from soda.berkeley.edu (128.32.131.179).  It is
approximately 7 MB in size. 
	soda.berkeley.edu:pub/IV.3.0.sun4.res.tar.Z

This is the result of David N. Blank <dnb@media-lab.media.mit.edu>.

Here is a copy of the README file included in the distribution:

Howdy-
  This is a version of InterViews 3.0 installed directory containing
the IV binaries and other supporting files.  I wanted to be able to
run IV binaries on a machine which did not have the IV or C++ shared
libraries on it.  As a result, I have built the binaries so that they
are dynamically linked to the X11 and C shared libs only. This means
bigger binaries, but you get portability (and a chance to be
alliterative).  However, there is some fine print (without the font
change): 

   This is built with a resolver library (post-4.8 version of BIND
   called utbind, from neat.ai.toronto.edu:pub/utbind.tar.Z)
   statically linked in.  This means that name resolution is done
   solely through DNS (a /etc/resolv.conf must be present).  I would 
   have also rolled a version which uses the (slightly broken) Sun
   resolver library which does NIS resolution as well, but there is 
   a problem with this. The Sun library is compiled with the -pic
   switch which is incompatible with the -PIC switch that I was forced
   to use to compile some of the larger programs.  C'est la vie.

Good luck with the InterViews!
           Peace,
              David N. Blank
