Wow - how embarrassing! I did not have the region set right. So niviz is in-fact working for me.

Which leads me to the question, how is launching it from the GUI (selecting 3D view) different than from the command line?

Sorry for my monothread!


nviz from the terminal is opening the TclTk NVIZ. In the Python GUI it's the wxPython NVIZ.

Are you using a wxpython binary install or your own compiled version? I have not seen libwx_base_* as a normal OSX prefix for wx libraries, they're usually libwx_macud_*.

I looked at the instructions a bit better, and noticed that they recommend to use the "--enable-monolithic" flag on Mac OS X which creates the libraries that you are accustomed to.

But after making sure the old libs were deleted and rebuilding GRASS I still get the same exact errors.

So, you're saying that you did compile your own wxPython? But then you rebuilt with the monolithic option? Did you then distclean GRASS before recompiling it?

3 things to try:

- make sure you have /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/wxredirect.pth, maybe your wxpython build didn't install this for some reason. and make sure that you don't have any older wxpython junk in your site- packages.

- the system wxpython meets the minimum requirements. Try deleting your wxpython and reconfiguring GRASS to use the system wxPython.

- try installing the latest wxPython binaries from the wxpython site, instead of compiling your own.

You could try forcing the Python you want by setting GRASS_PYTHON in your shell init, or in grass.sh.

I only have one copy of Python installed on this machine - the version that ships with Mac OS X. Would I set it to that?

No need to set it then.
