rpm == redhat package management
I guess you could look into the rpm port, but not sure why you would
want to do that. Do they either have the source available (ususally
tar.gz file) or do either of these ports look like what you are looking
for?

MayaVi is a scientific data visualizer. It is written in Python and uses
the
Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the visualization. An easy to use GUI
using
Tkinter is provided. It is also cross platform and should run on any
platform
where both Python and VTK are available (which is almost any *nix, Mac
OSX or
Windows).
