[vtkusers] vtkTkImageWindowWidget: segmentation fault

[Donna Hanlon]

Hi,

I successfully built vtk2.4-1.268 on RedHat Linux 6.1 (Cartman) with
these flags:

--with-tkwidget --with-python --with-patented --with-contrib --with-mesa
--with-tcl

My application successfully imports several vtk modules
(libVTKPatentedPython.so, libVTKContribPython.so, vtkpython.so), but
when it tries to execute the following line in ImageVTK.pyc, it core
dumps:

           Tkinter.tk.call('package','require','vtkTkImageWindowWidget')

When I try these executables in vtk/python at the command line, I also
get a segmentation fault:

vtkTkImageViewerWidget
vtkTkImageWindowWidget
vtkTkRenderWidget

I believe I installed the correct source version for tcl/tk (8.0.5), the
binaries for which already were installed on RedHat Linux.  I made sure
my user.make pointed to the proper TCL_INCLUDE/TK_INCLUDE paths.

Jordi Cabot cabot at tele.ucl.ac.be reported a similar problem with
vtkTkRenderWidget on 7/6/1999, but I didn't see any responses to that
post.

Any ideas?
