Gerry,

I believe you've hit a known bug in GRASS 5.7. NVIZ won't start from the GUI g.parser interface you get when you run it from the command line, nor will it accept front loaded elevation data (or any other data). The only way it will run is to start 'quietly' without loading data up front.

nviz -q

Then load the data once NVIZ has started.

Subject: [GRASSLIST:3571] NVIZ in 5.7

I am trying to run NVIZ in 5.7 and I keep getting the same error. I have tried to run it from the command line while loading the elevation.dem data that comes with the sample data and get the following lines

Loading Data

(file "/usr/local/grass57-29_05_2004/bin/nviz" line 16)

I have tried copying the nviz2.2_script into a number of different areas with no luck.

Can anyone help me out.

Cheers

Thanks for the input Michael. I have tried running it quietly (nviz -q) in
both 5.3 and 5.7 and get the same sort of error...Are you aware of any
problems with the NVWISH2.2 executable. I am not sure but it looks like it
is originating from there...Also in some of my reading it appears that there
may be some problem with running it with Tcl/tk 8.4. That is what we are
running for a number of applications...

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.
