[vtkusers] Python and VTK

[Nick Torenvliet]

Ooops!

Hey Dan, thanks!  It is now working fine - guess I need to bone up on my
ccmake skills.

Another question then,

A couple of the examples are coughing with:

_tkinter.TclError: couldn't load file "libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets-8.0.so":
libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets-8.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

So to address this I am attempting to rebuild with GROUP_TK set on.

Now I get the following compile error:
[ 87%] Linking CXX executable ../../../../bin/vtkInteractionWidgetsCxxTests
[ 87%] Built target vtkInteractionWidgetsCxxTests
Makefile:138: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm going to hunt around and probably install twenty or so random packages
that look anything like what I find @ 138 but if anyone knows what I need
to do, please let me know.

Thanks,

Nick
