[vtkusers] volmepro header and libraries / VTK install on linux

[Dr. Daniel James White PhD]

hi,

My volume pro 1000 enabled fresh CVS VTK build finished without errors, 
on a red hat linux 8.0 system,
and make install of VTK was ok.
python wrapping of VTK was ok.

But, running a python frontend/GUI to VTK that used to work very well 
(called MayaVi, this is the program we are developing for volume pro 
1000 support)
I get the following error

-bash-2.05b$ mayavi
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/mayavi", line 283, in ?
     import mayavi
   File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/mayavi/__init__.py", line 5,

   File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/mayavi/Base/__init__.py", line

     raise LinkError, str(exc)

undefined symbol: _ZTVSt13basic_fstreamIcSt11char_traitsIcEE
-bash-2.05b$

so looks like there is a problem with linking ???????

what should we do next?
Any ideas?

cheers
