Try rosrun smach_viewer smach_viewer.py instead.

After running the command rosrun smach_viewer smach_viewer.py the terminal says wxversion 2.8 is not installed, installed versions are ['3.0-gtk3'](smach_viewer.py:3051): Gtk-WARNING **: 04:47:09.099: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init()(smach_viewer.py:3051): Gtk-WARNING **: 04:47:11.661: Negative content height -11 (allocation 1, extents 6x6) while allocating gadget (node entry, owner GtkEntry) and some other warnings. When the smach_viewer opens all it says is PATH NOT AVAILABLE
