yup, this is what i did:i run setup.py after make install. i had to change
permissions vtk.pth. it created the sym links, etc. i double checked there
is only one set of libvtk*Python.so in my library path. the odd thing is
that some of the example programs work, i.e. the ones with the graphic
primitives like cone, etc. it also loads the vtk module just fine. i am
quite puzzled since it does work when i change the python path. maybe not
all required files are copied. i shall investigate that and let you know
what's going on.
