[vtkusers] Importing vtkpython

[Mikkel Bollinger]

I'm writing an VTK application in python. I have recently downloaded 
the nightly release of VTK and run configure with: 
./configure --with-mesa --with-shared --with-x --with-python \
     --with-tkwidget --with-patented --with-contrib
VTK is then compiled but an error is raised when I try to import the VTK
modules from python:

>>> from vtkpython import *
Traceback (innermost last): 
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? 
ImportError: ./vtkpython.so: undefined symbol: initlibVTKLocalPython

I have then tried to configure VTK with the additional 
option: --with-local. However, then the compilation cannot be completed
due to missing files in the 'local' directory.

Is there somebody who has encountered the same problem (and found a
solution) ?

Regards
