My NVIZ crash bug (#4768) morphed into making it work in Mac OS X, without X11. Partial success. I have an experimental binary download for testing on my site. It requires my Graphics Libs and GIS Libs packages. It's Universal for PPC and Intel. Aqua-fied, so there is no need for X11, even for NVIZ! There is a Tcl/Tk Aqua/Universal download also.
The main problem is that NVIZ works on PPC but crashes on Intel, at least on my MacBook (non-Pro). Hopefully someone with a MacBook Pro or Intel iMac (that is, an Intel Mac with a 'real' graphics card) can try it.

And yet withal bound down by silly customs that make them slaves to their unhappy lot while firm in the belief that they be the lords of creation enjoying the only real pleasures of existence....
