nviz is missing in osgeo4w 64bit

[lutra]

Under QGIS the message is

Module nviz not found

Is Nviz confirmed present in GRASS itself?

no, it does not seems

GRASS 6.4.3 (teste)> nviz elevation=mdt 'nviz' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

and there seems to be a more general issue with rasters, because with the GUI when I try to add a raster I get

GRASS in OSGeo4W 64bit doesn't have Tk, which nviz apparently requires.

Hi Jurgen,

Replying to jef:

GRASS in OSGeo4W 64bit doesn't have Tk, which nviz apparently requires.

so something fixable or that will never happen?

thanks in advance

At least I have no plans to add Tk to the 64bit OSGeo4W.

FWIW, in GRASS GIS 7 nviz has been rewritten and no longer requires Tcl/TK:
