[GRASSLIST:90] nviz: error while loading shared libraries: libtk.so.0

GRASS GRASS user

I'm using RedHat Linux 9, bash and GRASS 5.0.2. When I attempt to run

  GRASS:~ > nviz

the result is "/usr/local/grass5/etc/nviz2.2/NVWISH2.2: error while
loading shared libraries: libtk.so.0 cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory"

As suggested on the GRASS installation web page, I've tried making a
link from libtk.so to libtk.so.0 by running

  ln -s libtk.so libtk.so.0

And running

  GRASS:~ > slocate libtk.so.0

results in "~/ActiveTcl/lib/libtk.so.0". However I still get the same
"No such file or directory" error when I try to run nviz.

As I am new to GRASS and very rusty (> 5 years) at any variant of Unix,
tips to help find this apparent environment variable problem would be
appreciated.

Regards,
Greg

Was your grass compiled under RH8 and then you upgraded? If so, you may
need to rebuild..

I did a fresh install of RedHat 9 yesterday on a new machine, along
with a fresh install of Grass 5.0.2. Everything worked, including NVIZ.

Had to download fftw-2.1.5 source and compile, add /usr/local/lib to
/etc/ld.so.conf, and run ldconfig first. (for FFT functions)

next, the following need to be installed, beyond the generic workstation
+ development packages:

RH 9.0 reqs:
use "rpm -q PACKAGE" to test, then "rpm -Uvh PACKAGE-1.2.3-4.i386.rpm"
to install..

postgresql
postgresql-odbc
postgresql-server
postgresql-devel
unixODBC
unixODBC-devel
lesstif
lesstif-devel
blas
lapack
readline
libjpeg
libjpeg-devel
libtiff
libtiff-devel
libpng
libpng-devel
#gd get v2.0.x from rawhide.redhat.com
#gd-devel
tk
XFree86-Mesa-libGL
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU
XFree86-devel
gdbm-devel
postfix
freetype-devel

(most of those should already be there)

finally, build with
(replace pentium4 with athlon etc..)

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure \
        --with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/pgsql/server \
        --with-motif \
        --with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include/ \
        --with-motif-libs=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib/ \
        --with-blas \
        --with-lapack \
        --with-glw \
        --with-dbm \
        --with-dbm-includes=/usr/include/gdbm \
        --with-freetype \
        --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2
# --with-readline \
make
make install

need cludge to get readline working. Run config without, then do
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/1000
before make

hope that helps,
