[vtkusers] Re: Mayavi on MacOSX error: libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

[Dr. Daniel James White PhD]

Hi Adrian,

I tried running
pythonw /Applications/MayaVi/MayaVi-1.2.cvs20030927/mayavi
from the VTK/lib dir where the libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dylib is.

I got a bus error....... don't even know what that is...?

anyone know... I seem to remember discussion about bus errors recently  
on the mayavi list?

my screen depth is millions on an iMac LCD 15"

cheers

Dan
