[Paraview] Something wrong with Ubuntu 10.10 -> compared with Ubuntu 10.04

[Mr. M.]

Dear all

Please bear over with me, but I've tried to google for the following 
error messages and have seen that other people have the same problem as 
me (but the threads have been unanswered). I hope somebody can help me 
avoid this error:

-------------------
$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2

 >>> from sys import path
 >>> path.append('/usr/lib/paraview')
 >>> from paraview.simple import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/paraview/simple.py", line 39, in

in <module>
     from libvtkCommonPython import *
ImportError: libvtkCommonPythonD.so.pv3.8: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory
 >>>
-------------------

But it's not true - I've have the file it's looking for:

martin at MEK-404-MFJO-01:~$ locate libvtkCommonPythonD.so
/usr/lib/paraview/libvtkCommonPythonD.so
/usr/lib/paraview/libvtkCommonPythonD.so.pv3.8


???

I know somebody who's running Ubuntu 10.04 and doesn't have this problem 
so I think the problem is related to something that has changed between 
these two versions...

Please advice - any suggestions are most welcome...
