I thought this had been fixed?  Could it be a missing dependency (mesa
or equiv.?)?

I'm currently running FC5, 64bit, with FC5 packages of TclTk* and *GL*
and I have no problem with nviz in Spearfish (anymore).

Export to image formats are still broken (some segv(), some write bad
data).  Animation via ffmpeg 'works', but again, writes bad data.
The 64bit data corruption and segv() issues needs to be fixed before 6.2
goes gold.  I'll see if I can't hunt down and correct the segv()s this
weekend.
