problem installing salome meca

Hello

I am trying to install Salome-meca on my ubuntu 8.10.

The installation seemed to go well and I got the following message filled with "OK" messages (all of them sayed ok).

only when I try to run Salome-Meca I get errors:

In case you are wondering - I have python2.5 Installed.

yes I did.
and it seemed to go well. the problem started when I tried to run the program

I installed the 32bit libraries, but still there are some problems.
Salome launches with some warnings, and besides it works with problems:

1. In the geometry module - the lower right quarter of the viewer is empty and grey.
2. problems defining geometrical entities (cant input the points).
3. some times the the viewer turns grey until I click on it.

the info I get from the shell is:
