vtk是個使用python的很好範例，以下文章就介紹如何安裝、設定、所需套件...。

install libc6-dev kernel-header install g++ install make

1. 下載cmake
2. cvs co VTK,VTKData
3. 使用out-tree make

因為vtk需要cmake，但建議使用ccmake，用out-tree的方式作出Makefile比較方便

mkdir VtkBuild
cd VtkBuild
ccmake /home/samuel/VTK

在ccmake中，CMakeCache.txt的設定:

BUILD_EXAMPLES                   ON
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS                ON
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY    2.0
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX             /usr/local
PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH              /usr/include/python2.4
PYTHON_LIBRARY                   /usr/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.a
TCL_INCLUDE_PATH                 /usr/include/tcl8.4/
TCL_LIBRARY                      /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so.0
TK_INCLUDE_PATH                  /usr/include/tcl8.4/
TK_LIBRARY                       /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so.0
VTK_DATA_ROOT                    /home/samuel/VTKData
VTK_USE_CG_SHADERS               OFF
VTK_USE_GLSL_SHADERS             OFF
VTK_USE_PARALLEL                 OFF
VTK_USE_RENDERING                ON
VTK_USE_RPATH                    ON
VTK_WRAP_JAVA                    OFF
VTK_WRAP_PYTHON                  ON
VTK_WRAP_TCL                     ON

注意選項的部份，因為Vtk可以支援python-binding，所以 PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH, PYTHON_LIBRARY的設定值，如果開始的時候，ccmake無法自動找到，可以手動寫入CMakeCache.txt。

如果系統回應沒有找到tcl, tk，可先安裝tck8.4-dev, tk8.4-dev，然後將TCL(TK)_INCLUDE_PATH指定到/usr/include/tcl8.4/。
