[vtkusers] Trouble Installing VTK on Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion

[David Gobbi]

Hmm... that's the error that I see on my system when I try loading
python 2.5 modules into python 2.6, but I imagine that you compiled
VTK against the python 2.7 dylibs, so for you everything should be
fine.

Do "echo $PYTHONPATH" and "echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" to make sure that
those variables aren't pointing to the wrong modules or dylibs.

Also try running the "vtkpython" executable in VTK's bin dir to see if
that works better.
