Hi,
I was trying to install VTK-7.1.1 using cmake 3.14 in a CRAY-LINUX server. After configuration when I was trying to make it during the process it saying that,
" 23%] Building C object Utilities/KWIML/vtkkwiml/test/CMakeFiles/kwiml\_test.dir/test.c.o

Can anyone please tell me the cause of the error?

Because vtk7 is old. Use VTK 9.1

The issues is that vtk 9 will not work with gmsh which are required from freecad CEA to generate mesh

Afaik, vtk is not using gmsh at all.
Do you mean that gmsh is using vtk ?
If that is so, this is a gmsh issue to support new version of VTK, not a VTK issue.
How do you install VTK btw ?
