[Bug 419490] Re: vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor seg faults at instantiation

[Brian White]

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.
