Existing toolkits, existing code base.. But if you are doing python and vtk together you probably really want a carbon build as it will most likely render a bit quicker and the Apple supplied X11 is morbidly slow since they upgraded to a <a href="http://x.org" target="_blank">x.org</a>.<br>
If you continue to use X11 on OS X Leopard I would suggest you download and install the <a href="http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/X11-2.3.2.dmg" target="_blank">http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/X11-2.3.2.dmg</a><br>

I had posted some trouble I was having with getting VTK with Python wrapping working correctly in OS X Leopard (on pretty much a clean install of the OS).<br>
After compiling with the following options:<br>
<br>
VTK_SHARED_LIBS: ON<br>
VTK_USE_COCOA: OFF<br>
VTK_USE_CARBON: OFF<br>
VTK_USE_X: ON<br>
VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT: ON<br>
VTK_WRAP_PYTHON: ON<br>
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/preet/Development/VTKBin<br>
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib<br>
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/X11R6/include<br>
<br>
I needed to set the environment variable DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH since it was not pointing in the right location. I set the directory with:<br>
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:/my/path/to/vtkinstall/lib/vtk-5.2<br>
<br>
Doing this let the files resolve correctly and I'm able to type in 'import vtk' at a python interpreter with no issues. I tried to download a sample python file that displays a basic cube but I get the following error:<br>
<br>
ircci-macpro12:vtk preetdesai$ python cube.py<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "cube.py", line 15, in <module><br>
mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()<br>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'vtkPolyDataMapper'<br>
<br>
I can confirm this file works fine on a similar linux (Ubuntu) install. Are there more things I need to set / change to get this working?<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
