Hi Craig,

We also run VTK+Python on Solaris.

I believe your "relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable 
sections" link error goes away when you use the "-fPIC" flag with your 
compiler (e.g., export CC="gcc -fPIC" before doing make).  We ended up 
using gcc on Solaris due to problems with Sun's compiler on some 
software other than vtk/python (might have been tcl/tk, though).

Feel free to check out our build script for IRIX, Linux, and Solaris 
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/surefit/SureFitSrc/BuildSureFit).
