I have 6.4 SVN binaries online now. Tested on Leopard so far. I

A couple important changes from my previous binaries (the build
instructions also reflect these changes):
- It uses ActiveTcl 8.5 now for the TclTk GUI and NVIZ. This
"aqua-fies" the TclTk GUI. The X11 TclTk is not bundled now and
not needed.
- It uses up-to-date wxPython binaries, even on Leopard. Starting
with wxPython 2.8.8, it can install to be used with the Leopard
system Python 2.5 as well as the python.org Python. This may
interfere with the wx gui in GRASS 6.3, but it's not as well
developed anyways.

I downloaded this. So far the basics seem fine, but I get an error
when I try to use nviz. The error is below:
Do I have to separately install a new version of TclTK? I have
both whatever is installed with the default 10.5.5, and I also use
MacPorts and I have tcl 8.5.5 and tk 8.5.5 installed from Macports.
Do I need to install something else? Or is nviz just looking in
the wrong place and needs to get pointed in the right direction?
Yes. It is mentioned in the readme.
The GUI can use any TclTk, but NVIZ and v.digit require the TclTk
8.5 Aqua framework (ActiveTcl or compiled from source).
OSX 10.5 only has TclTk 8.4 Aqua. There are problems with this
version.
I'm not sure about Macports, but I think that's an X11 TclTk.
Ooops. Sorry I missed the readme.
I checked and by default the Macports Tk is X11. But there is a flag
to build it for aqua (the flag is just +quartz) and that in term
passes the "--enable-aqua" flag to the tk build. It worked fine to
build. And now when I run Grass 6.4 the look is different, so clearly
it was using the X11 version, and now is using the aqua version. But
I still get the same error that I did before.
I think that it is correctly building Tk for aqua, but it not
generating a framework, and NVIZ seems to want it located in that
specific location as a framework. Does NVIZ do something a little
unusual about finding the path? Or does Tk do something unusual. I
have looked at the portfile (build instructions essentially) for Tk
and it looks like it is just putting that extra flag in place and not
doing much else. So I think that it is pretty much identical to
building with default settings from source.
