Hi, I am on linux and I tried to configure paraview with VTK_USE_SYSTEM_PROTOBUF on. It failed miserably even though I have protobuf 2.4.0a installed. The message was informative once I figured out what the problem was: CMake Error at VTK/CMake/vtkModuleMacros.cmake:578 (find_package): By not providing "Findprotobuf.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "protobuf", but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "protobuf" with any of the following names: protobufConfig.cmake protobuf-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "protobuf" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "protobuf_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "protobuf" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): ThirdParty/protobuf/CMakeLists.txt:37 (vtk_module_third_party) The problem is that linux is case sensitive and cmake (2.8.9 and 2.8.10.1) install FindProtobuf.cmake. Notice the capital P? I am guessing I will have to change one of the "protobuf" to "Protobuf" in ThirdParty/protobuf/CMakeLists.txt. But one more thing is nagging me. This is happening in the VTK subfolder so presumably while configuring VTK. Yet I don't see any use of protobuf in VTK, only in Paraview. So it should really be a Paraview_use_system_protobuf setting and not be set up in VTK. I could of course be wrong.
