Yes... you probably used the "old ones" that were archived, from where 
this thread started. Nice that it worked for you

Well, I guess that falls into the category of software I would not 
expect to run on a Sparc32 system, not on a sparcstation. NLE video 
editing? Does the Framebuffer work for you?
I run headless, so at most I need some GUI editors.
Just curious... or are you able to spawn a rendering/compositing daemon 
on the system over network?

I suppose further discussion is better on the sparc mailing list.
