[vtkusers] Error with VTK4.0 and python2.2: "ValueError: meth od requires a VTK object"

[Harris Scott R CIV AFRL/SNJM]

I did a search for python and VTK4.0 but I didn't find that thread. Thanks!

I tried to install the Wrapping/Python stuff in my site-packages directory under python2.2 and I put
the libs in /usr/local/lib/ 

I blew that stuff away and just set up my paths to point into the VTK4.0 directory and it worked. I'll
have to go back and understand where it was getting confused.

Where do folks normally install VTK4.0? Do they just leave it where it was built, or do they move it
someplace else? I guess leaving it in the build directory is cleaner and safer.

This can happen when you have different versions of the VTK python
libraries.  Look here:
