[IDV #XSH-394436]: Probelms running IDV on Geyser

Brian,

We have gotten around these sorts of errors with the new Java 3D (which is 
still in beta and so we are not distributing it with the IDV, yet). Please 
download https://www.dropbox.com/s/ea6cxs6yqtzr68f/java3d.tar.gz and copy the 
contents of that tarball into the IDV installation in question: [IDV 
installtion]/jre/lib/ext

Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
