[vtkusers] Python Utility library

I'm trying to get python 2.1 running with vtk now.


In

http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2003-April/017189.html

it was advised

"Just point PYTHON_UTIL_LIBRARY to the location of python21.lib file.
This file should be in libs subdirectory of your python installation.

                        Andy"

but this file does not exist anywhere in my python2.1 installation
e.g.

% pwd
/usr/local/lib/python2.1

% find . -name "python*" -print
./config/python.o

I do have

% find . -name "lib*" -print
./site-packages/libglade.py
./site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_0_8_5/lib
./site-packages/libglade.pyo
./site-packages/libglade.pyc
./lib-old
./lib-dynload
./lib-tk
./config/libpython2.1.a
./config/libpython2.1.so


so the only real library is the last one; but I thought this
was where I should be pointing

PYTHON_LIBRARY

not

PYTHON_UTIL_LIBRARY


So I too have nothing to point this cmake variable at !

Does this indicate the python installations are not complete perhaps ?

thanks
Neil
