[vtk-developers] Building VTK with Python Wrapping on Cent OS 5.11 64 bit fails

[David Gobbi]

Hi Deepak,

Even though CentOS 5.11 isn't on the dashboard, it should definitely work.
You might be missing one or more .rpm package that is necessary for VTK.
Python wrapping requires BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.

Please copy the error to your email, because that will give us some clues
as to why the build fails.
