 i can confirm this on self compiled Wingrass64+65-installers installed in
 C:\Program Files\, even if i use the msys.bat from ticket #629 with all
 paths "quoted".

 but nviz is working if I use the self compiled grass64+65 living in
 c:\osgeo\apps\grass.

 Helmut

 p.s. i've integrated the msys from ticket #629 (with quoted paths) locally
 into GRASS-Installer.nsi for Grass65. should i apply this for testing in
 Grass65svn? I've tested it a little bit locally and it seems to work
 (beside the nviz-issue).
