Sorry for this message...
After some tests and reboots, the lpp command works fine now... ;)

Dear LIGGGHTS community,

I'm sorry to bother you again with this problems, but I'm still having trouble to convert my dump.file to .vtk.
I run the in.pour example (in the pour-dev LIGGGHTS'examples) which gives me a dump.pour file like this :

ITEM: TIMESTEP
200
ITEM: NUMBER OF ATOMS
68
ITEM: BOX BOUNDS
-0.05 0.05
-0.05 0.05
0 0.15
ITEM: ATOMS id type type x y z ix iy iz
42 1 1 -0.00224217 -0.00922029 0.0513882 0 0 0
52 1 1 0.00878174 -0.00526709 0.0508027 0 0 0
67 1 1 0.0111886 -0.00275366 0.0509935 0 0 0
.......

Then, from the folder containing the dump.pour file, I use this command

python -i ~/pizza-14Jun12/src/pizza.py

which gives me

Loading tools ...
Display not available ... no GUIs
animate tool did not load:
No module named Tkinter
image tool did not load:
No module named Tkinter
plotview tool did not load:
No module named Tkinter
vcr tool did not load:
No module named Tkinter
pexpect from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pexpect is required for vmd tool
vmd tool did not load:
No module named pexpect

but apparently that's ok, because Numpy is downloaded and I have the numeric tool.

Then, I want to create my vtk files and use the command
vtk(dump("dump.pour")).many()

which gives me

read 0 snapshots
0 snapshots selected out of 0
no column assignments made
dump scaling status is unknown
wrote 0 snapshots in VTK format

And I really don't understand why no snapshots are generated. I tryed to work pizza from the home folder, from the
folder containing the dump.file , and I really don't understand what's wrong with my installation.

I installed liggghts_1p5, pizza-14Jun12, numpy-1.6.2 and I work under Cygwin.

I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced this problem.
Is anyone has an idea concerning this?

I'm sorry to bother you again with this problem. But I really can't see how to fix that.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Stephane
