<h2>GRASS FAQ: NVIZ fails</h2>
<b>Question:</b><p>
I am running GRASS on Linux <i>some_distro</i>, I ran into a problem with
NVIZ:
<pre>
"/usr/local/grass5/nviz2.2/NWISH2.2: error loading shared libraries:libtk.so.0
cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory child process exited normally..."
</pre>
Why?

<p>
<B>Answer:</B><p>

Do you have the <b>tcl</b> and <b>tk</b> libraries installed?
This problem appears quite often. NVIZ can't find the libs, maybe because it's
renamed in your distribution. You just have to create a softlink to the
libs. Example:
<pre>
cd /usr/libs/
ln -s libtk8.3.so.0 libtk.so.0
</pre>

The same may be needed with libtcl.xxx.so.
