It looks like py26-mayavi requires vtk5 be installed with the
carbon variant, and that you cannot install vtk5 with the carbon

That's what the message says.

So don't request the x11 variant.
I didn't. It got installed as part of the mayavi install.

Victor.

The backend (x11 or carbon) of vtk5 must match that of mayavi. It used to be only carbon was supported, but that is not the case now. In fact, it is difficult to use carbon on Snow Leopard. Please see:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21994

There is a patch there to remove the error checking in the py26-mayavi port for carbon. You will also need to have wxwidgets-python and py26-wxpython installed with the gtk variant.

Regarding your immediate error, Ryan is partly right: install vtk5 with only +x11 (not +carbon also), and make sure to include +python.

HTH,
Jonathan
