[vtkusers] VTK Problem Upon Python 2.5 Upgrade

[Shari Rolnick]

The output from running vtkpython is:

[shari at localhost testing]$ vtkpython
vtkpython: error while loading shared libraries: libvtksys.so.5.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
[shari at localhost testing]$


My PYTHONPATH is:
[shari at localhost vtk-5.0]$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/usr/local/src/vtk/VTK/bin:/usr/local/src/vtk/VTK/Wrapping/Python:/usr/local
/lib:/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-ansi
[shari at localhost vtk-5.0]$

And my .bash_profile contains:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

When I try to echo the value in the shell, though, it does not seem to be
getting set unless I "source .bash_profile".  (I thought logging out and
back in should force it to read the .bash_profile?)

Thanks!

Shari
