I’m trying to compile ElmerFEMGUI with VTK as a dependency; however, VTK’s cmake files are failing to find the Developmentm.Module requirement. The executable is found.
The error call stack is as follows
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.26/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
Could NOT find Python3 (missing: Development.Module)
Call Stack (most recent call first):

I have python3.9-dev and python3.9 installed. For reference I can demonstrate this through dpkg -l python3.* which produces

I have attempted to set some variables as shown below
cmake .. -DPython3_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3.9 \
-DPython3_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/python3.9 \
-DPython3_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.9.so \
-DPython3_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.9 \
-DPython3_LIBRARY_DIRS=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.9
I have no idea how to fix this issue. All of the obvious things have been dealt with and there is an extreme dearth of information on this topic online that does more than what I’ve already done.
How do I solve this issue?
