[GRASSLIST:3577] Re: NVIZ in 5.7

[Michael Barton]

If you are running under Cygwin, there is a documented problem. Rich 
Greenwood has provided a version of tcltk that works 
(www.greenwoodmap.com). If you are running on Mac, you need to install 
an x11 version of tcltk and not go with the one that Apple provides. 
This can be had via fink or if you use Lorenzo Moretti's binaries. For 
other platforms, I don't know. Try setting the path to wish in the 
.grassrc57 file in your home directory.
