Hi, the updated vtk package that works with python2.6 is here:
http://femhub.googlecode.com/files/vtk-cvs-20090316-minimal.p4.spkg the package skips installation on Mac by: # disable the package on darwin for now, as it doesn't build there if [ `uname -s` = Darwin ] ; then echo "This package doesn't build on OS X, skipping." exit 0 fi so it "works" on Mac too. I have investigated how to compile and link stuff on Mac and I know how to fix cmake to work, see my package for our own C++/Python package hermes: in our case, there were 2 problems: 1) the cmake default Python discovery code picked up the default systemwide Python framework on Mac, so this patch forces it to use Sage Python: http://github.com/certik/hermes2d/commit/12c5f9f3a97372d2e7efe0eedee29346af954f0b 2) then one has to link properly the .so extension modules, so that they a) build and b) import in python, this was fixed by this patch to the cmake files: http://github.com/certik/hermes2d/commit/8d7c7b08c321d208d5f794e29c2909eb7b07a94e and now it works both on linux and Mac. So a similar thing has to be done for the vtk as well. So I think it should be possible to make it work with *nonframework* Python build in sage. the latest mayavi package is here: http://femhub.googlecode.com/files/mayavi-3.2.0-osmesa1.p1.spkg it's build is also skipped on Mac. Prabhu, did you make any progress on fixing VTK to build? I think the framework is only useful for a GUI, but we use notebook for the gui and there it just needs to build. Considering the amount of work and testing to convert all Sage to use framework python on mac (e.g. the whole linking to Python would change in all spkg packages, but maybe some of them don't have to be changed), I would rather fix VTK.
