[vtkusers] python: 'import vtk' fails... (Mac OS X 10.2)

[Martin Dunschen]

I have managed to compile the vtk libs and successfully ran 'sudo make  
install' from the directory where I had built VTK.

The problems I had earlier with undefined symbols in linking c++  
applications where solved by forcing project builder to use gcc v3.

No I would like to run the python examples, but I fail:

Below is a screen dump of the 'import vtk' envoked from python.
My interpretation is that it finds the python libraries but cant load  
them.

What is wrong?
