NVIZ works fine for me on Red Hat Linux 9.0.


here are some compiling hints:

RH 9.0 reqs:
 use "rpm -q PACKAGE" to test, 
 then "rpm -Uvh PACKAGE-1.2.3-4.i386.rpm" to install..

postgresql
postgresql-odbc
postgresql-server
postgresql-devel
unixODBC
unixODBC-devel
lesstif
lesstif-devel
blas
lapack
readline
libjpeg
libjpeg-devel
libtiff
libtiff-devel
libpng
libpng-devel
#gd     get v2.0 from rawhide.redhat.com  (needed for GRASS 5.0 ONLY)
#gd-devel
tk
XFree86-Mesa-libGL2
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU
XFree86-devel2
gdbm-devel
postfix
freetype-devel


Also need to compile:
fftw-2.1.5
PROJ.4:  http://www.remotesensing.org/proj
GDAL:    http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal

After compiling & installing those, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and put 
/usr/local/lib as the last line in the file.

Then run  '/sbin/ldconfig'  to allow other programs to see your 
new libraries.



GRASS 5.3 on Redhat 9.0 with a Pentium 4 based processor:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure \
        --with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/pgsql/server \
        --with-motif \
        --with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include/ \
        --with-motif-libs=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib/ \
        --with-blas --with-lapack \
        --with-glw \
        --with-freetype \
        --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
        --with-cxx --with-gdal --with-proj
$ make
# make install


need cludge to get readline working. Run config without, then do

------------------------------------------------------------------
OK; it's a known problem. At present, the only workaround is to
manually edit src/CMD/head/head, e.g.

        READLINELIB         = -lreadline -lncurses

and src/include/config.h, e.g.

        /* define if readline exists */
        #define HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H 1

------------------------------------------------------------------
But it isn't critical.



good luck,
Hamish
