[vtkusers] error when building vtk snapshot

Tue Nov 23 13:20:28 EST 2010

well, it seems that the sip bindings are assuming that python include
files are located in the same directory that sip.h. What I did first
was to created a link to sip.h in /usr/include/python2.6 pointing to
where my sip.h file was located

/usr/include/python2.6/sip.h -->
/home/jmrbcu/bin/imagis/third_party/sip/include/python2.6/sip.h

but in this way, the building process keep failing, then I copy all
include files from /usr/include/python2.6 to where I have located
sip.h and everything worked ok.

could please fix this in vtk trunk?
