py26-mayavi - build failure

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
My build of py26-mayavi fails. The log file "var/macports/logs/..._py26-mayavi/main.log" contains the following: "ImportError: No module named vtk"
I came across a similar error mentioned in ticket:21994. Following the instructions there, I did a 'port clean' on vtk5, and rebuilt it with python26: port install vtk5 +python26 +x11.
Then installing py26-mayavi worked fine.

Replying to jjstickel@…:
Should this be closed?
If it's possible to detect that vtk5 is not installed with +python26, it would be nice to error out early with a helpful message.

Maybe something like this would work (inside pre-configure):
if {![file exists ${prefix}/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/VTK-5.6.1-py2.6.egg-info/PKG-INFO]} {
ui_error "vtk must be installed with the +python26 variant"
error "vtk must be installed with the +python26 variant"
}
but +python25 and +python27 are also permitted, and so testing for any one of the three should be done. Can you suggest a straightforward way to do that? Or do you think a simple ui_msg would be sufficient?

See ticket #33242 for a patch that includes an appropriate error message.

You found the solution, which is to install vtk5 with the +python26 variant. Note that the x11 variant is added by default and does not need to be specified. But we have no way currently to depend on a variant of a port. See #126.
