[vtkusers] VTK Python on Sun Solaris

[Andy Cedilnik]

Well, I just did this using CMake 1.4 beta and I think it is Sun WD6U1
(whatever that means). I turn the CMake option
VTK_BUILD_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE (which only works in CMake 1.4 and newer)
and this is the result:

CC  -I/VTK/Wrapping/Python -I/VTK/Rendering -I/VTK/Hybrid
-I/VTK/Patented -I/VTK-CC -I/VTK/Common -I/VTK/Filtering -I/VTK/Imaging

-lm -ldl -R/VTK-CC/bin:/lib  -o /VTK-CC/bin/vtkpython

That produced file:

linked, not stripped

Try this manually and tell me what happens.
