Hi there,
I am installing some software (compucell3d) using cmake and make. This sotware requires vtk. I have installed vtk 9.1 onto my linux machine. I am getting the following error:
The “vtkpythonutil.h” header file is not installed with vtk 9.1. Any idea how to fix this? I have noticed that the binaries for the software I am installing uses vtk 8.2. Do I need to downgrade?
Hi @DomUoA,
How did you install it ? Using your package manager ? On which distribution ?

Probably.

If the software is looking for a Python header file, then be sure to install the vtk “dev” and “python” packages in addition to main “vtk” package.
The names of these packages will vary between different flavors of linux, but they will be something like vtk-devel and python3-vtk or libvtk9-dev and python3-vtk9.
