[Paraview-developers] Superbuild failure

[Cory Quammen]

Andy,

Just FYI, I also followed up with Alan off list. My guess is that some
Python script with the line

"#! /usr/bin/env python2.7

is being called, but Allen's system does not have a python2.7 binary
installed. There is such a call in the twisted test_dist.py file under
paraview/VTK/ThirdParty/Twisted/twisted/python/test/test_dist.py that
could be the offender, but I'm not entirely sure it is being called
during the installation step.

Thanks,
Cory
