[vtk-developers] VTK-5-2 python install - missing libvtkverdict.so.1.2

[Darren Weber]

I forgot to mention that I'm running an amd64 version of Ubuntu 7.04.  I
found a fix, but it seems like a nasty hack:

sudo -i
cp -r -d /usr/local/lib/vtk-5.2/* /usr/lib/

root at skiweber:/usr/src/kitware# python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar  7 2008, 03:39:23)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vtk
>>> v=vtk.vtkVersion()
>>> print v.GetVTKSourceVersion()
vtk version 5.2.0, vtk source $Revision: 1.3093 $, $Date: 2008-04-21
01:00:15 $ (GMT)
>>>

Seems to be working now.  What is the best way to test it all?

Regards, Darren
