Summary0014168: vtk python modules installed in wrong location
DescriptionThis is exactly the same problem that was reported in issue 12694 and was fixed with version 3.12. However, it seems to have resurfaced now with version 4.0.1. While trying to upgrade openSUSE's paraview package to version 4.0.1, I see that the installation script tries to install vtk's python modules in
/usr/bin/Python/vtk/
instead of in
/usr/lib(64)/paraview/

Version 3.98.x used to build just fine on the same version of openSUSE. Please have a look at the spec file and let me know if I am doing something wrong that is triggering this issue. The spec file is here
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:badshah400:branches:science/paraview?expand=1&file=paraview.spec [^]

Thank you.

I'm running into the same issue trying to update the Fedora paraview package. VTK_PYTHON_SETUP_ARGS doesn't seem to be available. And -DVTK_INSTALL_PYTHON_USING_CMAKE:BOOL=OFF doesn't appear to help.

I finally patched the CMakeLists file as follows. This gets paraview building again, although I do not know if this is the right thing to do or not...

So that's why setting on the command line had no effect! Works for me too.

Guys, has anyone tried this withg 4.1? The Python installation rules were updated for 4.1. Please let me know if the problem persists with 4.1 and we can track it down.

Thanks for all your help.

4.1 appears to honor VTK_INSTALL_PYTHON_MODULE_DIR just fine and works for me. Thanks.

Thank you very much. VTK_INSTALL_PYTHON_MODULE_DIR works just fine for me too with version 4.1.
