Hmm, I also dont understand the error.  Here are a few thoughts:

 1. What happens if you try this on an interactive session?

    from libvtkImagingPython import *

 How about ldd on libvtkImagingPython.so?

 2. Do you have different versions of the vtk libraries on your
 system?  Or do you have many copies of the libraries, perhaps the
 linker is confused by some older copies.

 3. Are you doing something funny with sys.path in your application?

 4. Are you doing something funny with threads?  A real shot in the
 dark!

I assume both crash?  Perhaps the presence of both libs is causing the
problem?

Good luck!
