I want to use Mayavi.
virtualenv installed. But I have not used it for this installation.I've manually installed all it's dependencies, including VTK.
For VTK, I followed its installation guide and installed the python wrapper.
Now if I open a new terminal window and open python, I can import vtk without any error.
I try to install Mayavi with the following command:
pip install mayavi
But the following error occurs:

I think the problem is with vtk.
Can anyone help me?
Running sudo pip install mayavi does not solve the problem.
I thought this might help

Your pip is probably using a different python, kind of you have vtk installed using /usr/local/bin/python, while your pip binary uses /usr/bin/python.
Check it:
$ head -n1 $(which pip)
In order to get it solved, you can choose to use a virtualenv, or install pip using /usr/local/bin/python:
curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | /usr/local/bin/python
