If you're not too attached to your VTK binaries, please try the DRE
(see link above).  It contains its own versions of VTK, Python and
wxPython and requires no installation besides unpacking the relevant
tarball.  If it solves your problems, and you don't mind using the
DRE, you're done. :)

If not, it's time to study backtraces.  I have looked at the previous
one you posted, it seems to segfault in X.  In the past, I've had
problems with the osmesa libraries.  Swapping them out fixed the
problem.  Where is your libGL.so from?

Good luck,
Chalr
