[vtkusers] Bizarre Python Errors

What does this mean? dyld? That's something relevant to dynamic linking,
right? Meaning what? That my Tcl build is static? In that event, how can I
make sure that I install it with sharing (there's no convenient cmake
operation associated with tcl...)? Anyone know if it is possible to tell
fink how to configure the tcl installation? Perhaps I'll just have to build
from the source... Obviously I can't use apple's new release because it uses
quartz.

Here's the mayavi error, which seems to tell me that this is the only hurdle
left in getting this to work correctly. (which I very much look forward to
doing)
