Hi Vikram,
ok, so vmtk relies on vtk, and if vtk doesn't work, there's no chance vmtk
will work either.
First things first: getting vtk to work.
Try adding these lines to the usual .bashrc file:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
export PYTHONPATH
and repeat the python, import vtk thing.
