Done. Still doesn't work. The script I built to run each morning when
I come in is as follows:

cd /usr/local/src/vtk
cvs -d \
    :pserver:anonymous at www.visualizationtoolkit.org:/vtk/cvsroot update

./configure --with-mesa --with-tcl --with-shared --with-contrib \
    --with-patented --with-python --with-tkwidget
touch wrap/vtkWrapPython.c
make
make install

Same errors happen. This is with Python 1.5.2, tcl and tk 8.0.5, gcc
2.95.2, and libc6 2.1.3 (standard Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 system). Am I
going to have to work in C++ or tcl in order to use the decimate
functions?
