[GRASS-dev] nviz locks-up

I just compiled grass 6.2.1 on 2 computers, one runs FC5 and the other FC6.
nviz works fine on the FC5 machine, but it locks-up on the FC6 system.
Specifically, entering nviz -q causes the nviz window and the "please wait ..." windows
to open. The nviz window remains empty and "please wait ..." never goes away on the FC6 system. Any suggestions?

what version of Tcl/Tk is installed on the FC6 machine?
Can you try with version 8.4?

This machine was upgraded from FC5 to FC6 recently.
FC5 was a clean install.
Here are all the tcl/tk packages that are installed:
tclx-8.4.0-5.fc6
tcl-8.4.13-3.fc6
tcl-devel-8.4.13-3.fc6
postgresql-tcl-8.1.4-1.1
tk-8.4.13-3.fc6
tk-devel-8.4.13-3.fc6

FC5 was a clean install.

tclx-8.4.0-5.fc6
tcl-8.4.13-3.fc6
tcl-devel-8.4.13-3.fc6
postgresql-tcl-8.1.4-1.1
tk-8.4.13-3.fc6
tk-devel-8.4.13-3.fc6

Interestingly, I do not have this problem on FC6 (i386) with the same
tk/tcl versions.

FYI, there are also Fedora RPMS available at
