Hi David,

Sorry, I should have mentioned, setting the environment variables in
python_configure_step.cmake.in also had no effect -- but the pointer
helped me figure out why!  The External_Python.cmake file that I
started from has the set(python_CONFIGURE_COMMAND ...) call commented
out and specifies a configure command in ExternalProject_Add.

I was able to get it to compile by making the following changes:

 * Uncomment out the various python_*_COMMAND settings
 * Set the ExternalProject_Add call to use those commands
 * Move the include(External_zlib) to just above if(NOT APPLE) in
CMakeLists.txt in the SuperBuild
 * add these lines to python_configure_step.cmake.in

  set(ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} "@CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR@/python-build/lib")
  set(ENV{CXX} "@CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER@")
  set(ENV{CPPFLAGS} "-I@ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR@")
  set(ENV{LDFLAGS} "-L@ZLIB_LIBRARY_DIR@")

Now I have a nice zlib module.  :)

I've committed these changes to my gitorious repo, if you're
interested -- it's a fork of the jpocom-paraview repo under Jorge's
account (jpocom).  It probably has a few mistakes or CMake idioms I
have done incorrectly, but I've also added several other modules
(including yt) to it.  I'm testing a full build at the moment, but it
will take a little while to see the results.

Thanks for all your help!

-Matt
