If you haven't done a "make install" the VTK/Wrapping/Python/README.txt file has this entry:</div><div><br></div><div><div> (2) Using the package from the source build without installing it</div><div> system wide and without using `vtkpython`. This is most</div><div> useful when you build VTK off a CVS checkout and do not want</div><div> to install it system wide and still want to use the vanilla</div><div> Python interpreter. This is also useful if you are not the</div><div> administrator of the machine you are using/building VTK on.</div><div><br></div><div> Unix/Linux</div><div> Under Unix the way to do this is to set the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`</div><div> (or equivalent) to the directory that contains the libvtk*.so</div><div> libraries. You must also set your `PYTHONPATH` to *both* the</div><div> directory that contains all the `libvtk*Python.so` files *and*</div><div> the `Wrapping/Python` directory. Under bash/sh something like</div><div> so needs to be done::</div><div><br></div><div> $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH</div><div> $ export PYTHONPATH=$VTK_ROOT/Wrapping/Python:${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}</div><div><br></div><div> and under csh::</div><div><br></div><div> $ setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}</div><div> $ setenv PYTHONPATH ${VTK_ROOT}/Wrapping/Python:${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}</div><div><br></div><div> where VTK_ROOT is the directory where VTK is being built</div><div> (`VTK_BINARY_DIR`) and `LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH` (this variable is</div><div> set in `CMakeCache.txt`) is where the libraries are built.</div><div> Change this to suit your configuration.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-Eric</div><div><br><div>
