We had similar problem with mandrake 9.2, and now with Debian Sarge it does 
not go any better. I have been suggested it depends from Tcl/Tk 8.4 (with 8.3 
it should work, but it is not obvious how to use on a recent installation, 
because of dependencies.
I have the following questions:
1. is somebody using nviz on a recent system? What combination of OS+grass 
version works? AFAIK, Mac OSX is ok
2. is there any chance of seeing it back working? Who has the skill to solve 
it?
Many thanks.
