Ah.  libnviz has a problem, in nviz.h, for the AGL types.  This should  
fix it (and gets a step closer to fixing the direct rendering problem):

--- include/nviz.h.orig	2008-08-12 22:19:32.000000000 -0500

Now there is another error to deal with in wxpython/nviz - gstypes.h  
defines X, Y and Z for (internal use only), but this causes problems  
for one of the OSX application services headers.  The fix I figured  
out was to include ApplicationServices.h and agl.h before the grass  
headers.  This is done in include/nviz.h, but not in wxpython/nviz/ 
nviz.h.  Change the #include order to:

#include <grass/gis.h>
#include <grass/nviz.h>
#include <grass/gsurf.h>
#include <grass/gstypes.h>

And in nviz.i change to:

#include "nviz.h"
#include <grass/gsurf.h>
#include <grass/gstypes.h>


Now we're left with some errors in grass6_wxnviz_wrap.cpp:

grass6_wxnviz_wrap.cpp:3165: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘{’  
token
grass6_wxnviz_wrap.cpp:3173: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘{’  
token
grass6_wxnviz_wrap.cpp:3180: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘{’  
token
...
...

These are all

static bool check(PyObject *obj) {

I seem to recall seeing this before somewhere with swig-generated  
code, and I don't remember what the solution was.
