[vtkusers] runtime crash of vtkpython on IRIX

Dear VTK-python users,
I am experiencing a runtime crash of vtkpython on the Python example
scripts.  Are any users on IRIX successfully using vtkpython and can offer
suggestions?  I have compiled VTK 4.2.6 with TCL and Python wrappers.
Python runs standalone.  The VTK/TCL wrappers work OK, but vtkpython crashes
on the "import vtk" line with the following message:

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

I have tried with both Python 2.3 and Python 2.1.  VTK is built with IRIX
version 7.4 compilers.  Python is built with gcc 3.2.1.  I have also tried
to initialize the site-packages to install VTK with the standard python
interpreter, and I experience the same crash when trying to load the vtk
libraries. 

Any help is appreciated.  Take care.
