Re: Mayavi2 + Python + Ubuntu 8.10

Hi Bertold,

The problem you have is quite simple: the version that comes by default
with Ubuntu 8.10 is oldish. And the documentation you are using, and in
which you probably found the code you tried, appliles to more recent
versions of Mayavi (version 3). I suggest you use version 3 rather than
version 2, because is has many improvements.

To instal easily the latest version of Mayavi on Ubuntu, you can use my
PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gael-varoquaux/+archive
add the lines indicated on the web page to your sources.list and upgrade
mayavi. This should get you going.

Cheers,

Gaël
