nviz2.2 for GRASS 4.2.1/Linux

Hi there,

if you like to try, get the nviz2.2 precompiled on
Linux/Intel here:

http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass421/linux/
nviz_linuxbin.tar.gz (290k)

Extract the package in

/usr/local/grass42

NVIZ will be started within GRASS by
   nviz2.2

Note: When opening a new map, the map names are
not displayed. This is fixed for the next GRASS 5beta4
release. Take the NVIZ2.2 for GRASS 4.2.1 as a preview,
we will not spend time on that. Further development
will be done in GRASS 5 environment.

You need tcl8.0.x/tk8.0.x and libraries to run NVIZ. Additionally
the openGL clone "MESA" is required.
Tcl/tk8.0: http://www.scriptics.com/products/tcltk/8.0.html
Mesa 3.0: http://www.mesa3d.org/

Best regards

Hi Markus, hi all,

so far, so good - but please be aware of some wrong absolute pathnames
e.g. in
  /usr/local/grass42/etc/bin/contrib/cmd/nviz2.2
they refere to
  /usr/local/grass-5.0b/...
and if you don't have grass5.0bX on your box, you have some problems :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Stephan

Hi,

it seems to be more "worse": I think that the path
  /usr/local/grass-5.0b
is written to
  ./etc/bin/contrib/cmd/NVWISH2.2
and this is a binary...
I have changed all the script files, but the problem

translating colors
Error in startup script: couldn't read file
"/usr/local/grass-5.0b/etc/nviz2.2/scripts/config.tcl": no su
ch file or directory
    while executing
"source $src_boot/config.tcl"
    (file "/usr/local/grass42/etc/bin/contrib/cmd/nviz2.2" line 12)
                                                                   
did persist, so the last chance were the two binaries, and grep found
it with:

grep grass-5.0b
Binary file ./etc/bin/contrib/cmd/NVWISH2.2 matches

and

hexdump -c ./etc/bin/contrib/cmd/NVWISH2.2 | grep "g r a"

found

00555d0 a l / g r a s s - 5 . 0 b / e t

Is someone willing to compile NVWISH2.2 using
  /usr/local/grass42/(...)

Best wishes,

Stephan
