[vtkusers] VTK+Python on Mac OS X - no module named vtk error in Python

[David Gobbi]

Follow up: I had an obvious error in my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, it should be the
"lib" directory in VTK 6 (it used to be "bin" in VTK 5).  I must rely on
the rpath too much these days...

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Volumes/Work/Kitware/vtk-build/lib
