Hello,

I am having trouble installing VTK on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
I tried both vtk5 and vtk-devel from MacPorts but that remainde  
unsuccessfull.
See http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtkusers/2009-October/103081.html

I then tried to compile it myself with the python bindings. That did  
work for the first time, but the python modules couldn't be found when  
trying to import them. When manually changing to the site-packages  
folder that contains the vtk module, running python interactively and  
trying to import vtk, the following error is what I get:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/145758/
I built it with i386. Having read that there seems to be some problem  
with cmake ignoring the i386 option, I also added it to the C and CXX  
flags as "-arch i386". Trying to build *that* (with carbon this time)  
fails with this error:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/145762/

Did anybody successfully get VTK with Python wrappers (and carbon)  
working on OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard?

Regards,
Christopher
