Hi, <br><br>I just started using VTK. I downloaded vtk-5.10.1 and also vtk-5.8.0. I tried to install vtk of either version but received the same error information during compilation. I can set up configuration using ccmake well. But when I compiled vtk using make, it soon went to this error:<br>
<br>[ 2%] Generating ../H5lib_settings.c<br>libhdf5.settings: No such file or directory<br>make[2]: *** [Utilities/vtkhdf5/H5lib_settings.c] Error 1<br>make[1]: *** [Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/vtkhdf5.dir/all] Error 2<br>
make: *** [all] Error 2<br><br>I'm trying to install vtk on a linux system. But I'm only one user on this big linux server system. I don't have the root privilege. So I have to install vtk into my own folder instead of the usual one /usr/local. Is that a problem? I guess not because I can change the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and I haven't gone to the installation stage yet...<br>
<br>I searched online and the vtk user group's post, no related topic is found. I'm new to vtk but definitely wanna use this nice package. Thank you for your help. <br><br>James.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div>Zhan Li, 李展; </div>
