I haven't looked at it at all yet but I have a hunch.I am wondering if this is an artifact of how, starting with El Captain, the system python is kind of locked down by be Apple. If that is the case, switching to a third party python (from fink, macports or
homebrew) would solve it.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">If not that, my next guess is that it is the library path management we do in the packaging process to make redistributable binaries that causes the problem. For windows and mac we do these things in different
(platform specific) ways which would explain why it can be done on linux and windows but not mac.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In my personal use I either build vtk from source (most of my work) or run from the bin directory (for intro to vtk courses). However I really would like to get this nailed down. Likely then we can incorporate
the binaries into a wheel and make "pip install vtk" just work. Unfortunately it is unknown when/if I'll find the time to investigate thoroughly (or solve it once I do eh?).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
My results on el cap:<br>
<br>
I’ve got some home made modules, so I prefer to compile VTK myself. I compile VTK after configuring this way (no mention about my modules here…)<br>
<br>
In a build directory:<br>
<br>
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \<br>
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/VTK-7.0.0.rc2 \<br>
-DVTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON \<br>
-DCMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH=ON \<br>
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR=/usr/local/VTK-7.0.0.rc2/lib /path/to/vtksource<br>
<br>
make<br>
sudo make install<br>
<br>
In /usr/local, I make a symbolic link pointing to the right directory:<br>
<br>
cd /usr/local<br>
sudo ln -s VTK-7.0.0.rc2 VTK<br>
<br>
Finally, in my $HOME/.bash_profile, I put<br>
<br>
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/VTK/lib/python2.7/site-packages<br>
<br>
<br>
FWIW, I run the macports version of python.<o:p></o:p></p>
