This is a known problem which appears to be due to a peculiarity of
the Mac's linker. Currently, the only fix is to modify the Gmakefile
to explicitly link all binaries against vars.o in addition to
libgeo.a. See my replies to Scott W Mitchell for additional details.

This is a curses function, which appears to be absent from the Mac's
curses library. I guess that we need to add a configure check for this
function, and only use it when it's available.

I suspect that most of the errors are due to src/libes/vask, in the
files V_init.c and V_exit.c. If you disable the calls to keypad() in
those files, most of the above should compile. However, you may not be
able to use the extended keys (those to the right of the main
keyboard, i.e. cursor keys, the numeric keypad etc) for form-based
input.

Another known problem, also discussed in my replies to Scott W
Mitchell.

It appears that your TIFF library requires the JPEG library (this is
quite common). However, the "configure" script explicitly checks for
this, and should have included the necessary switches in the
definition of TIFFLIB in src/CMD/head/head.<arch>. It should be
possible to fix the problem by editing that file accordingly.

Odd. The most likely reason is an incompatible version of Tk. NVIZ
uses Togl, which is an OpenGL "widget" for Tk. Unfortunately, code
which implements Tk widgets is highly sensitive to the version of Tk
which is used.

Also, Tk supports three distinct platforms: Unix/X11, Windows, and
Mac. NVIZ requires the Unix/X11 version; it won't work with "native"
Windows or Mac versions of Tk.

BTW, The same issue applies to OpenGL; on "hybrid" systems (those
which support both the Unix/X11 API and a "native" API, e.g. Cygwin
and MacOSX), NVIZ requires the Unix/X11 version of OpenGL, not the
"native" version.
