Module 06 ADVTOP
Instead of having to build teem and vtkTeem yourselves, you could also just download the binaries I've prepared for you, unpack them somewhere, then add the path to your devide-re/dre.cfg as follows:
[env:ld_library_path] . . teem: /where/you/unpacked/vtkTeem-build/ [env:pythonpath] . . teem: /where/you/unpacked/vtkTeem-build/
Restart DeVIDE, and the following should work in the Python shell:
import libvtkTeem as vtkteem r = vtkteem.vtkNRRDReader()
If you get complaints about libbz2.so.1.0, download from here, put in the vtkTeem-build directory and restart.
