[vtkusers] vtk4/python win32 installation

[David Gobbi]

Hi Elvis,

Just try try loading vtkCommonPython into python by itself
and see if you get a more detailed error description:

>>> from vtkCommonPython import *

Perhaps it will tell you that the dll "vtkCommon.dll" could not
be found, which would be because LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't mean
anything on Win32.

Try PATH=c:\Program Files\vtk40\lib\vtk instead (Windows looks
for both .exe files and .dll files under the PATH).

Cheers,

 - David
