Looks like Tcl is unable to load this library.  Things to try.

 (1) Try putting the directory that contains
 vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dll in your system PATH.  IIRC that is
 all that I needed to do when I installed pre-built binaries (thanks
 to Les Schaffer).

 (2) Move vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dll to your system directory.
 IIRC Windows/system or something (not sure) and try again.

 (3) Is Tcl/Tk also compiled from source?  Or is it a binary install?
 Maybe there is some complication with Tcl/Tk.  Could it be built
 statically, in which case it is unable to load a new library
 dynamically?

Also, did you read VTK/Wrapping/Python/README.txt?  A while ago I
added a section dedicated to installation of VTK-Python on Unix and
Windows.

cheers,
prabhu
