[vtkusers] VTK Build Error on Ubuntu 8.04: TCL Conversion Error

[David Cole]

If you just want a quick workaround to avoid this particular problem, you
can comment out the "closedSplines" test in the
VTK/Filtering/Testing/Python/CMakeLists.txt file. Use a "#" character to
comment out the line that says "closedSplines".

There must be something unique about your system or your python installation
that triggers this issue, because we do not see this on the VTK dashboards
that have python wrapping turned on... Do you have a development build of
python on this machine? Anything else unique?


HTH,
David
