NVIZ works fine for me, with tcl/tk 8.5.1
BTW, I just finished the installer for windows, but there's still a problem I'm
not able to fix:
installer procedure creates 4 different files to let GRASS work even if
installed in dirs with spaces; files are:
grass63.bat
grass63 (to launch grass from msys shell)
msys.bat
grassrc6 (to avoid initial location error)
It works fine, but nviz fails if GRASS is installed in a "spaced" dir; I verified that
error doesn't occur when installed in a "space free" dir!
I could release it right now (actually, after lunch ;-)), warning in the
install procedure to not use dir with spaces, or delay the release and try to
fix the problem.
What do you think about?
How does NVIZ fail? Is there an error message? We could try to fix it.
Installing in a directory with spaces is never a good idea. There are
various little things here and there that will break, although the
situation is better than it used to be. In particular, I think shell
scripts invoked with the batch file wrapper to GRASS_SH (normally set to
the Msys shell) will fail because of a documented bug in the Windows
_spawnlp() function which is used in g.parser. I used to have a fix for
this (I think it just involved some extra quoting of the script name) in
my local source tree but I never committed it because I wasn't very sure
if it was the best solution, and I think I have lost it now in the move
from CVS to SVN.
