[vtkusers] vtk headers displays: file not found

[Meehan, Bernard]

I'm not sure that anyone gets anything back when they type: `which vtk` - you might get something for `which vtkpython` if you built the Python wrappers though. I believe that the only issue I had with Mavericks was that there was an advanced option that I had to remove from an option. This is discussed here: http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2014-March/083368.html. If you don't remove the -fobjc-gc from VTK_REQUIRED_OBJCXX_FLAGS, you'll have another confusing problem.

For what it's worth, my ccmake line was something like this:
ccmake .. -Wno_dev -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/VTK
(and then I changed some stuff in the interface, mentioned in the link above)
The ccmake line you used doesn't look like there is anything wrong with it, but I didn't personally try it.

Probably the best way to check out if you're set up correctly is to download one of the example programs from the VTK wiki, such as:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Meshes/SolidClip
and just follow the directions. They're pretty painless to download and try, and it is probably the best way to start learning it. If you're very new - like me - I would also recommend the User's Guide. A few dollars spent now is probably worth many many many frustrating hours staring at your terminal.

Hi,

How can I know that I installed vtk right?
I'm typing which vtk and I'm not getting anything back.

this is how I installed vtk

ccmake . -G "UNIX Makefiles" -DVTK_USE_QVTK:BOOL=ON -DVTK_USE_COCOA:BOOL=ON -DVTK_USE_CARBON:BOOL=OFF -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING=x86_64 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF

I installed version 6.1

Thanks

It sounds like you don't have your environment set up correctly.
I run OS X Lion, and I have VTK installed in "~/VTK" and I do both C++ and Python development using VTK.

My ".bash_profile" is:

export VTK=~/VTK
export PATH=$PATH:$VTK/bin
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$VTK/lib/python2.7/site-packages
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:$VTK/lib

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/man

If that doesn't work, let us see your environment setup, and where you put VTK at. I tried to load your link and couldn't get to the page. It is VERY likely that the problem is on my end.

Hi,


I'm using mac osx 10.9 " Mavericks", Im trying to run a code that include the following headers,

#include "vtkConeSource.h"
#include "vtkCylinderSource.h"

#include "vtkPolyData.h"
#include "vtkPolyDataMapper.h"
#include "vtkRenderWindow.h"
#include "vtkCamera.h"
#include "vtkActor.h"
#include "vtkRenderer.h"
#include "vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h"
#include "vtkProperty.h"
#include "vtkCallbackCommand.h"
#include "vtkCommand.h"
#include "vtkRendererCollection.h"
#include "vtkFloatArray.h"
#include "vtkCellArray.h"


When I try to run the code it displays the following


mpicxx -c -g -Wno-deprecated -I../../../include -I/Users/lab/software/VTK/include/vtk-5.8  d3.cpp

d3.cpp:20:10: fatal error: 'vtkCylinderSource.h' file not found

#include "vtkCylinderSource.h"

         ^

1 error generated.

make: *** [d3.o] Error 1


I installed vtk by following the steps in this link http://www.developers-life.com/configuring-and-compiling-vtk-6-1-on-mac-os-x-simple-example-of-vtk-usage.html


I do not know what is going wrong and I was not lucky to find any solution online. I hope someone can help me.



Thanks.
