[GRASSLIST:8607] Re: NVIZ not working properly in GRASS 6?

[Ross A. Beyer]

Thank you for your suggestions, but I still can't get the NVIZ window
to display anything but junk.

My system didn't have any Mesa libraries installed, and when I tried
to add them, I got this message:

	MesaGL is unnecessary because libGL and libGLU come with
	XFree86 4.0 and higher

I'm running X.org 6.8.2 which also has these libraries.  So I'm guessing
that's not it, but I don't know much about these things, maybe it is?

Okay, I installed tcl/tk 8.3, and rebuilt GRASS to use them.  However, the
results are still the same, nothing but "snow" or graphics buffer
junk in the NVIZ visualization window, but the window with the
controls is fine (its just that none of the buttons really do
anything).

Any additional help or suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.
