[Bug 471741] [NEW] In python, import vtk throws fatal error: "undefined symbol: _ZN15vtkFLUENTReader27SetDataByteOrderToBigEndianEv"

[David Mashburn]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to Karmic, calling "import vtk" from python resulted in
this error message:

~$ python
Python 2.6.4rc2 (r264rc2:75497, Oct 20 2009, 02:54:09) 
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/vtk/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
    from io import *
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/vtk/io.py", line 7, in <module>
    from libvtkIOPython import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/libvtkIOPythonD.so.5.2: undefined symbol: _ZN15vtkFLUENTReader27SetDataByteOrderToBigEndianEv
>>> 

I have no idea what the problem is.  I'm using the 64-bit flavor of
Karmic Koala.  I've tried reinstalling libvtk5.2 and python-vtk
including using the "complete removal" option to no avail.

Reinstalling the older Jaunty releases of libvtk5 and python-vtk (vtk
5.0.4) still works under Karmic, and that's what I am using until this
bug gets fixed.

Thanks!  That's all I know!
