No. "wish" isn't used by NVIZ in any way. However, the "nviz" script
itself uses tclsh (I strongly suggest replacing that with a Bourne
shell script; a simple "Segmentation fault" message is a lot less
confusing than the current 3-level Tcl backtrace).

This is with no Tcl or Tk 8.3 files on the system, right?

Do the tkInt.h and tkIntDecls.h files from Debian's Tk 8.4 source code
match the tkInt8.4.h and tkIntDecls8.4.h files included in
NVIZ2.2/src?

Note: those files probably won't be included in any binary package;
that's why NVIZ includes copies. But NVIZ' copies *must* match the Tk
library which it uses.

Has anyone tried debugging this?
