Anyone wanting to have a satisfying 3D imaging experience should use the TclTk version of NVIZ. I believe that wxNVIZ does not compile by default and IMHO, precompiled binaries probably should not compile it for wide distribution so that people don't get the wrong idea about its capabilities--which are extraordinarily good in GRASS 7. I'll probably stop compiling it soon. 

I totally agree with that, Helena
