[vtkusers] Building vtk from source with python binding, Stefan

[Stefan Mogck]

Hallo vtk-users!

I'd like to install MayaVi under linux. For that I have to install VTK first. 
I have problems to get the Python bindings into VTK. I hope I configured 
cmake correctly to bind tk, tcl and python. After the configuration I started 
make and I got the following error message:

mk39:/home/stefan/pythonsource/VTK # make
cmake.depends is up-to-date
/home/stefan/pythonsource/VTK/Wrapping: building default_target
/usr/bin/cmake -S/home/stefan/pythonsource/VTK/Wrapping 
-O/home/stefan/pythonsource/VTK/Wrapping -H/home/stefan/pythonsource/VTK 
-B/home/stefan/pythonsource/VTK
CMake Error: Invalid escape sequence \I
in argument 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.2\InstallPath]/include
make[3]: *** [cmake.depends] Error 255
make[2]: *** [default_target] Error 2
make[1]: *** [default_target_Wrapping] Error 2
make: *** [default_target] Error 2

(I am using python2.2 under linux Suse 7.3)
My python is installed under /usr/local/lib/python2.2

This is my FindPythonLibs.cmake file:

#
# This module finds if Python is installed and determines where the
# include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of
# the library is. This code sets the following variables:
#
#  PYTHON_LIBRARY       = the full path to the library found
#  PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH  = the path to where tcl.h can be found
#  PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARY = the full path to the debug library found
#

Has anybody an idea what I have to modify. Probably in FindPythonLibs.cmake?


Thanks, Stefan
