Try setting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to contain the paths that have the vtk and paraview libs. Setting the sys.path tells python where to find the python modules (libvtk*Python.so) but those have dependencies on the regular libs (libvtk*.so and libvtk*PythonD.so) that must be resolved with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Are you using python or pvpython? Usually pvpython does some extra work so you don't have to set the environment variable yourself. You can see this if you run pvpython and type- import os print os.environ["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] Pat On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 11:07 PM, Dave Partyka <[email protected]>wrote: > If you do import sys > sys.path > > Does that print the directory where libvtkCommonPythonD is located? > > > On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 10:07 PM, Kaben Nanlohy > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I think this problem has been seen before on this list, but maybe not >> in enough detail to solve.
