[Qgis-user] NViz won't start in QGIS

[Jonathan Webb]

Hi, Re ensuring OSGEO4W installs tcl/tk libs, I don't recall seeing an 
option for that, & a filesearch shows a shedload of tcl files inclding 
folders: C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.4.2\etc\gtcltk 
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\python27\tcl C:\OSGeo4W\apps\python27\tcl\tcl8 
\lib\tcl8.5 C:\OSGeo4W\lib\tcl8 C:\OSGeo4W\apps\python27\tcl\tcl8.5 
C:\OSGeo4W\lib\tcl8.5 19/09/2012 which looks like it is installed? If I 
do need to reinstall OSGEO4W, how do I ensure that TCL is installed? I 
started to try GRASS but have yet to get my head round mapsets, 
PERMANENT etc & load my data in. It did seem as if the NViz module mght 
be working as a form opens up when I click through the menu File>NVIZ 
although the project had no data in so couldn't test it. Unfortnately, 
I'm trying to get a landscape model built ASAP so have reverted to GVsig 
& will have to revisit QGis when that is done. Cheers J Message: 6 Date:

the tcl/tk library is installed. Also, could you try and run it under 
GRASS itself. Cheers Saber ________________ Saber Razmjooei Lutra
