Now following your suggestions with an amended CMake line:

[estan at newton VTK-build]$ cmake \

  The VTK::IOExportGL2PS module requires the disabled module VTK::IOParallel.

I think I'm now past the trouble with eigen3, due to using the correct
VTK_USE_EXTERNAL (so it uses the system eigen), thanks!

But how about this error above? How can I find out why it disabled the
IOParallel module?
