I want to install the visualization toolkit vtk into my sage on OS X 10.6.8. I am running sage 4.8.
Attempting to follow the instructions on http://www.sagemath.org/doc/numerical_sage/installation_osx.html First of all, if I perform cd $SAGE_ROOT/local/lib rm libpng*.dylib and then start sage, sage complains about not being able to find the libraries I just removed. I reinstalled sage, started it first, then deleted the library files in a separate Terminal window. Next I issued (and received the response following) sage: install_package('python-2.5.1-framework') --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) /Users/jim/<ipython console> in <module>() /Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/misc/package.pyc in install_package(package, force) 153 if is_package_installed(package): 154 raise ValueError, "Package is already installed. Try install_package('%s',force=True)"%(package) --> 155 raise ValueError, "There is no package name starting with '%s'."%(package) 156 os.system('sage -f "%s"'%(L[0])) 157 __installed_packages = None ValueError: There is no package name starting with 'python-2.5.1-framework'. I tried again with parameter force=True as suggested in the traceback, but that produced exactly the same traceback. Can someone please provide accurate instructions for installing vtk?
