[GRASSLIST:3836] NVIZ crash in 5.3 on Mandrake

[Maciek Sieczka]

Hi!

A few days ago I sent a post about a crash in NVIZ in the Grass 5.3. No
answer so I'm trying again.

I'm wondering whether it is somewhat my system's fault or if the NVIZ is
responsible. And I would rather blame the NVIZ but correct me please if I'm
wrong.

The thing is that, as I wrote before, when I ovewrited the NWISH2.2 in my
Grass 5.3 directory with a very old NWISH2.2 taken from the archive
nviz_postgresql_tk84_i686-pc-linux-gnu_.tar.gz the NVIZ started working
(though I haven't really tested it hard if it is stable).

An issue worth of explaination I think.

The archive mentioned was available on the Grass site when the 5.02 was the
latest release.

My system is now Mandrake 10 and Grass is 5.3 from 26.06.04, the precompiled
binaries.

I had an identical problem with the NVIZ in Grass 5.03 on Mdk 9.2, which I
used to "solve" the same way.

And here is the NVIZ crash again:
