 Hi,

 something wrong with the module GUI magic in lib/python/task.py or
 gui/wxpython/gui_modules/menuform.py in 6.4svn:

 {{{
 GRASS64svn> g.gisenv GRASS_GUI
 text

 GRASS64svn> nviz
 }}}
 (popup window)
 {{{
 Unable to fetch interface description for command 'nviz2.2_script'.
 Details: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
 Try to set up GRASS_ADDON_PATH variable.
 }}}



 workaround: use the tcl/tk module gui, which works ok:
 {{{
   g.gui tcltk -u -n
   nviz
 }}}

 `nviz --ui` also fails in 6.4svn.

 `nviz --interface-description` works as expected, including module
 description.

 in devbr6 the module GUI launches, with or without `--ui`.

 in trunk `nviz --ui` works to bring up the module GUI.


 thanks,
 Hamish
