[vtkusers] cannot build vtk snapshot with python SIP wrappers

[David Gobbi]

Right now on your system, there is this file:

/usr/include/python2.5/sip.h

Maybe you have python 2.6 installed, or python 2.4, but whichever, you
will find that sip file.  It comes from the sip 4.10.5 that is
installed on your system.  When you compile VTK, that is the sip
header file that is used.  So you cannot use sip 4.11.1 with your
project, because the 4.10.5 sip header file has been installed.  Cmake
cannot remove the existing header file.  You see the problem now?
