Based on my previous comment I have found a work around. I built Python 2.6.2 and made sure that the Tkinter module used Tcl/Tk 8.4. I had to modify setup.py in the python source before I built python. There is a for loop that lists all of the Tcl/Tk versions it can compile with starting with 8.5. I just removed 8.5 from the list. Now I run my build of python referencing the Ubuntu install of vtk and vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor doesn't seg fault any more.
I did try building VTK against Tcl/Tk 8.5 but that still resulted in a seg fault. It seems to be a problem revolving around Tcl/Tk 8.5. Either the current Python 2.6.2 Ubuntu package needs to use Tcl/Tk 8.4 or the 8.5 issues need to be ironed out. -- vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor seg faults at instantiation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419490 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
