[Visualpython-users] Error running vpython demos

[ozhan f. <ofe...@ho...>]

Hello,

I  have installed vpython on my RedHat9 system. I tried to run some vpython 
demos in the demos directory. I was succesful running some of them. But when 
I run  the lorenz.py and some other files, I get an error message saying 
that:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual-2003-10-05

Right button drag to rotate camera to view scene.
Middle button drag up or down to zoom in or out.

Traceback (innermost last)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/visual/demos/lorenz.py", line 
12, in ?
    lorenz = curve( color = color.black, radius=0.3 )
TypeError: CXX: type error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I paste the vpython.py file here for debugging purpose.

from visual import *

lorenz = curve( color = color.black, radius=0.3 )

dt = 0.01
y = vector(35, -10, -7)

for t in arange(0,10,dt):
  # Integrate a funny differential equation
  dydt = vector( - 8.0/3*y[0]           + y[1]*y[2],
                              - 10*y[1] +   10*y[2],
                 -  y[1]*y[0] + 28*y[1] -      y[2] );
  y = y + dydt*dt

  # Draw lines colored by speed
  c = clip( [mag(dydt) * 0.005], 0, 1 )[0]

  lorenz.append( pos=y, red=c, blue=1-c )

  rate( 500 )

I don't know what could be wrong.  I appreciate any help.

thanks,
