Just noticing that nviz gets its own library now, probably so that  
there can be a tcltk nviz and wxpython nviz without duplicating the  
core nviz features.  Now here's something that gets tricky with OSX.

TclTk in OSX has never really worked all that well for NVIZ in the  
"Aqua" OpenGL configuration.  Only the X11 configuration has worked  
reliably for NVIZ.  So most people will be configuring for X11.

So, assuming that you configure for X11 OpenGL/TclTk, the NVIZ library  
will be made for X11 OpenGL.  But wxPython OpenGL will be "Aqua" no  
matter what.  I don't know if this is the source of the current  
errors, but it will certainly be a problem later.

Either the GUI will have to be an either/or choice (or just ignore  
TclTk GUI), or we need to make sure NVIZ TclTk works in the OSX Aqua  
configuration so they can be configured together.


For the immediate problems, I'd say configure with Aqua and disable  
TclTk NVIZ compilation.

--with-opengl=aqua --without-tcltk --without-x
