no it was not your mistake.  i was referring to someone else's post
and your answer was to them - it was the only information i could find
on this library.

ok so it is clear now.  Linux needs it, nothing much else seems to.

Could the VTK CMakeLists.txt file  have a Linux o/s  dependency so that
the PYTON_UTIL variable is not presented  to the user when it is unnecessary
(I spent some time trying to find out what it was and where it was)

cheers
