reassign 571491 vtk thanks Ok here is the summary.
In order to build the VTK-GDCM extension, GDCM needs a pre-installed copy of VTK on the target machine. In this case a VTK 5.4 compiled against python2.5 was found. When building the VTK-GDCM extension, GDCM does not do anything bug simply passing the exact same compilation flags (thanks to cmake) from VTK to the VTK-GDCM extension. In this case: $ grep python /usr/lib/vtk-5.4/VTKConfig.cmake SET(VTK_INCLUDE_DIRS "${VTK_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include/vtk-5.4;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/lib/openmpi/include;/usr/lib/openmpi/include/openmpi;/usr/include/tcl8.5;/usr/include/python2.5;/usr/include/tcl8.5;/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/include;/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/include;/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include;/usr/include/libxml2;/usr/include;/usr/include/freetype2") SET(VTK_PYTHONPATH_DIRS "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages;/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages") So VTK-GDCM is only an extension of VTK. Thus whenever VTK will compile with python2.6, VTK-GDCM should compile just fine (the previous errors was reported against a VTK header).
