Hi Castelier, I use Mayavi 1.5 daily on a fairly current gentoo installation. I'm curious, what versions of everything (python, tcl/tk, tkinter,...) are installed with Mandriva? It might make more sense to figure out what is causing the error from mayavi than to revert tkinter back to some deprecated feature set. Do you know what line in Main is causing this?
