VTK-9.1.0.rc2: vtkPoissonDiskSampler error: ld returned 1

I built VTK myself on two systems (arch & ubuntu hirsute) and changed the PolyDataPointSampler example to use the PoissonDiskSampler. On both systems I get the following error while compiling:

$ make

This filter is part of FiltersPoints module. Can you try adding this module in your CMakeLists.txt? It was not present in the example’s.

Thanks for the hint - it is working now.

In another project I just added find_package(VTK REQUIRED) and got the same error. Can you tell me when I need to add modules to it? Thanks!

If you use Python, then this may help in finding the needed modules VTKModulesForCxx/

I use c++ but it is still a good starting point.
