Ubuntu 9.04 binaries dosen't seem to work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install itk as desicribed in wiki
2. launch ipython
3.
import itk
itk.ImageFileReader.IUS2IUS2.New()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I see the following:

In [2]: itk.ImageFileReader.IUS2IUS2.New()

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 9.04 Python 2.6.2 

Please provide any additional information below.

When I compile from sources and add lib and Languages/Python to sys.path, i
can successfully use itk in python.

I've got the same problem, but with a different error : 
>>> import itk
>>> image_type = itk.Image[itk.US,3]

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'fp' referenced before assignment

When looking at the pyBasePython.py file, it appears that the binaries have been
built with Swig 1.3.38. As Ubuntu 9.04 uses Python 2.6, we are hit by the issue
mentionned in the wiki page for release 0.3.0.

If I had access to the script that generated the packages, I'd be more than 
willing
to rebuild them using swig 1.3.36, shipped with Ubuntu 9.04.

I have got the exact same problem as l...@unistra.fr. Did you managed to get 
the script and made the rebuild?

I used the following work-around for this issue : 

1. Build WrapITK, using its CMake script, and setting 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr. Other interesting settings for Python wrappers 
include WRAP_ITK_DOC and INSTALL_WRAP_ITK_COMPATIBILITY. The following steps 
assume you're located in the build directory.

2. Install it locally :
mkdir -p local_install/usr
sed -e "s/^FILE/#FILE/" -i install_wrapitk_compatibility.cmake
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=local_install/usr -P cmake_install.cmake
sed -e "s/^#FILE/FILE/" -i install_wrapitk_compatibility.cmake

3. Copy the "InstallOnly" files :
mkdir -p local_install/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
mkdir -p local_install/usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules
cp Languages/Python/InstallOnly/WrapITK.pth 
local_install/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
cp InstallOnly/FindWrapITK.cmake local_install/usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules

4. Debianize the build (adapt the Architecture and Maintainer fields) :
mkdir -p local_install/DEBIAN
cat <<EOF > local_install/DEBIAN/control
Package: wrapitk
Version: 0.3.0
Section: libs
Priority: extra
Architecture: i386
Maintainer: John Doe <jdoe@example.com>
Description: Automated dynamic language binding for Insight Toolkit (ITK)
 WrapITK is an effort to automate the language binding process of one of
 the largest highly template-oriented c++ libraries, the Insight Toolkit
 image processing library.
 .
 Currently Python, Java and Tcl language bindings are implemented, but
 only Python is fully supported. For ITK .NET languages wrapper you may
 refer to ManagedITK.
EOF

5. Create the package :
fakeroot dpkg-deb -b local_install ./wrapitk-0.3.0.deb

This has been successfuly tested on several versions of Ubuntu (9.04, 9.10 and 
10.04, both x86 and amd64 architectures).

Note that in step 3, the Python and CMake paths should be adapted for the 
versions of the platform you're targetting. For Python `python -c "import sys; 
print sys.version[:3]"` automates the trick.

I am trying to execute the build procedure described in comment #4, but upon 
invoking

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=local_install/usr -P cmake_install.cmake

I get

/lib/InsightToolkit/WrapITK/Configuration/Languages/GccXML/wrap_.cxx.in
CMake Error at Libraries/VXLNumerics/cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
  file INSTALL cannot find
  "/home/bens/schoolwork/phd/labfus/WrapITK/wrapitk-0.3.0/Typedefs/wrap_vcl_complex.idx".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  Libraries/cmake_install.cmake:37 (INCLUDE)
  cmake_install.cmake:56 (INCLUDE)

This is correct; Typedefs/ contains .i, .includes, and .mdx files, but no .idx 
files.

Therefore, the build process does not work for me, so I cannot use my WrapITK 
code on Ubuntu 10.04.

I've re-built WrapITK from scratch using the build process I've described in 
comment #4, this time using cmake instead of ccmake. I used the following 
command line : 
cmake -D BUILD_TESTING=OFF -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -D WRAP_ITK_DOC=ON -D WRAP_ITK_PYTHON=ON -D 
INSTALL_WRAP_ITK_COMPATIBILITY=ON -D WRAP_float=ON -D WRAP_signed_char=ON -D 
WRAP_signed_long=ON -D WRAP_signed_short=ON -D WRAP_unsigned_char=ON -D 
WRAP_unsigned_long=ON -D WRAP_unsigned_short=ON ../wrapitk-0.3.0

Is the cableswig package (containing cableidx, responsible for the building of 
.idx files) installed on your computer ?
