octaviz / Discussion / Help: Compile Cmake error

Fabian - 2005-10-13

Hi,

I try to install octaviz from source, but I seem to have some problem:

When I try to configure in Cmake I get:

CMake Error: Error in cmake code at

I have an archlinux system with octave 2.1.71, cmake 2.0 and vtk 4.2.

Would be nice, if anybody can help me installing it!?

  Fabian,
  
  Most likely you installed precompiled VTK library that comes with your distribution and does not have vtk*Kit.cmake files included (I know nothing about archlinux so I cannot confirm this). You need following files that some distributions fail to include (debian includes them):
  
  vtkLoadCMakeExtensions.cmake
  UseVTK.cmake
  VTKBuildSettings.cmake
  VTKConfig.cmake
  VTKLibraryDepends.cmake
  hints
  vtkCommonKit.cmake
  vtkFilteringKit.cmake
  vtkGraphicsKit.cmake
  vtkHybridKit.cmake
  vtkIOKit.cmake
  vtkImagingKit.cmake
  vtkParallelKit.cmake
  vtkRenderingKit.cmake
  
  Can you check your if those files are in your vtk installation directory (/opt/vtk/lib/vtk) or some of its subdirecotries? If the files are not there you can either contact archlinux VTK package maintainer or compile and install VTK yourself.
  
  Cheers,
  
  Dragan

  Hi Dragan,
  
  thanks for the quick response.
  I actually did install vtk from source, but I used the available build-scripts for archlinux (something like ebuild in Gentoo). So I miss some of the listed files in /opt/vtk/lib/vtk/
  
  VTKBuildSettings.cmake
  UseVTK.cmake
  VTKLibraryDepends.cmake
  VTKConfig.cmake
  
  I should look in the build-scripts; somewhere should be a configure option to turn the 'creation' of the other files off. It is probably in:
  
       25   CMAKE_DEFS="-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/opt/vtk
       26               -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF \      27               -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON \      28               -DVTK_USE_HYBRID:BOOL=ON \      29               -DVTK_USE_PARALLEL:BOOL=ON \      30               -DVTK_USE_PATENTED:BOOL=ON \      31               -DVTK_USE_RENDERING:BOOL=ON \      32               -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_EXPAT:BOOL=ON \      33               -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_JPEG:BOOL=ON \      34               -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_PNG:BOOL=ON \      35               -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_TIFF:BOOL=ON \      36               -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB:BOOL=ON "
  
  Cmake ist call with these options. Do you think I miss any?
  Maybe, I should ask that in the vtk-maillist...

    There are no options to turn off the creation of those files; they contains options used to build vtk. How did you install vtk after compiling it? Also can you check if those files are in vtk's source tree?

      Hi Dragan,
      
      using archlinux' package manager, which actually just copies the files to the set location.
      No there are no such files in my source tree ...
      I would say, I have the wrong source!?
      http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/vtk/VTK-4.2-LatestRelease.tar.gz
      
      Greetings!

        What I meant was to check for those files in the directory where you compiled vtk. Some of the files are created during the compilation, others are simply modified using a template. For example your source tarball (http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/vtk/VTK-4.2-LatestRelease.tar.gz ) contains VTKConfig.cmake.in which is used to create VTKConfig.cmake during the compilation. I would suggest you to install vtk manually without any package managers. Once you make it work, you can start debugging your package manager.
        
        Finally, as Jonathan said, you need VTK-4.4 to run octaviz (you can compile it against VTK-4.2 but there will be problems running it).
        
        Cheers,

        Hi Dragan,
        
        yes I looked in the directory where I compiled vtk; I could not find all of them. Now, I try to install by hand ... that produces those files. Strange!?
        
        Now, the compilation runs for a while and stops with an error message:
        /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.3/../../../../include/c++/4.0.3/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2: warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> header for C++ includes, or <iostream> instead of the deprecated header <iostream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.
        In file included from vtkHierarchicalBoxApplyFilterCommand.cc:5:
        /opt/vtk/include/vtk/vtkHierarchicalBoxApplyFilterCommand.h:31:54: error: vtkAMRBox.h: No such file or directory
        make[3]: *** [vtkHierarchicalBoxApplyFilterCommand.oct] Error 1
        make[2]: *** [default_target] Error 2
        make[1]: *** [default_target_Filtering] Error 2
        make: *** [default_target] Error 2
        
        The file vtkAMRBox.h is in the compilation directory, but not in the installed directory!?
        
        Thanks and Greetings!

        This one is a VTK bug that should be fixed by now in CVS version of VTK. You can copy it manually if you want to avoid recompiling VTK.

        Hi,
        
        thanks the compilation and installation worked, but now I have a different problem, which should not be to hard to handle. Running one of those examples, it does not find the vtk-libs:
        
        octave:1> Cone
        error: libvtkCommon.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
        error: near line 13 of file `/usr/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octaviz/Examples/Cone.m'
        
        I would say that they are included in my (bashrc):
        
        export VTK_HOME=/opt/vtk/lib/vtk
        export VTK_DIR=/opt/vtk/
        export VTK_DATA_ROOT=/opt/vtk/share/data
        export VTK_ROOT=/opt/vtk
        export VTK_WRAPPING=$VTK_ROOT/Wrapping/Python
        export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$VTK_ROOT:$VTK_ROOT/bin:$VTK_WRAPPING
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$VTK_ROOT/bin:$VTKD_HOME:$VTKD_HOME/Plugins:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        export PATH=$PATH:$VTK_ROOT:$PYTHONPATH
        
        Did I forget any of the directories?

        Hi Fabian,
        
        I don't know where did you install vtk shared libraries so I can't tell if you forgot any directories. The best way to make sure that everything is OK is to find the directory that contains libvtkCommon.so (should be in /opt/vtk/ or some of its subdirecotries), add it to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig (LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work allways). If you can't log in as root that just make sure that the directory containing libvtkCommon.so is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
        
        Cheers,

        Hi Dragan,
        
        I did not know the trick with ld.so.conf; it works now :-)
        
        Thanks for the help!
