I had responded to this message on 2nd Nov. Not sure why you did not receive it. Below is a copy of the message again. cheers, prabhu Dr. Lawrence Ward Spradley wrote: > ....

I think the easiest way to install mayavi1.x is to use any debian derivative (like Ubuntu) since it is packaged by them and is apt-get'able. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] F117] 1:53:23pm 408 % mayavi Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/bin/mayavi", line 296, in <module> > import Main > ImportError: No module named Main This looks like VTK isn't installed. What is the result of the following from your shell? $ python -c "import vtk" If that command worked without error then try this: $ python -c "import mayavi" If you don't have vtk installed then you might want to get hold of VTK rpms. I do believe they are available for FC7. Hmm, I just checked and VTK-5.0.3 is part of FC7. So installing vtk-python-5.0.3-18.2.fc7.i386.rpm should help. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] F117] 1:53:26pm 409 % ~/bin/mayavi [...] > vtk.__helper.LinkError: /home/lws/DRYDEN_II/Dryden2006/MayaVi/MayaVi-linux-bin-1.5/support/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] F117] 1:55:12pm 410 % > The 1st invokation (from the RPM install) just fails immediately. The > 2nd one seems to have a library incompatibility problem. Uname -a gives: I'm not surprised the second one fails. This one uses very old libraries built a few years ago that are sure to be incompatible on current desktops.
