[vtkusers] PyVTKClass_vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKeyNew (undefined symbol)

[Alex Pletzer]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to fix the undefined symbol error I'm getting with 
the latest (cvs) version of vtk?

# the symbol is in 
/contrib/vtk-2008-10-20-parallel-python/lib/vtk-5.3/libvtkCommonPythonD.so
[pletzer at quartic vtk-build]$ nm 
/contrib/vtk-2008-10-20-parallel-python/lib/vtk-5.3/libvtkCommonPythonD.so 
| grep PyVTKClass_vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKeyNew
00000000000b9b36 T 
PyVTKClass_vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKeyNew

# adding /contrib/vtk-2008-10-20-parallel-python/lib/vtk-5.3/ to PYTHONPATH
[pletzer at quartic vtk-build]$ export 
PYTHONPATH=/contrib/vtk-2008-10-20-parallel-python/lib/vtk-5.3/:$PYTHONPATH

[pletzer at quartic vtk-build]$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/contrib/vtk-2008-10-20-parallel-python/lib/vtk-5.3/:/contrib/vtk-2008-10-20-parallel-python/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

# still cannot resolve the symbol
