Hi,

I noticed that I do not have the file libvtkCommonCorePython27 nor 
libvtkCommonCorePython. However, I have the files 
libvtkCommonColorPython27D-pv5.3.so and 
libvtkCommonColorPython27D-pv5.3.so.1.

I have already tried to execute my script following your instructions 
but it did not work.

This makes me think that I do not properly installed paraview-5.3. So I 
am going to reinstall it again.

I would let you know if that fixes the problem.

Thanks,

Guillermo S.
