[vtkusers] Core Dump on vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor command

[Dean N. Williams]

Dear VTK community,

   I am trying to us the vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor command in a Python 
VTK script, but my script core dumps when it reaches this command. I am 
certain that my Python build and VTK build using the same Tcl/Tk 
libraries as you can see from my "ccmake ." generation below. The only 
thing I can think of is the fact that I am using the static libraries of 
Tcl/Tk and not the shared versions.

   Is there a problem building VTK with static Tcl/Tk libraries? If not, 
then why am I getting a core dump when my Python/VTK script comes across 
the vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor command?

   Any help on this will be much appreciated.
