Compilation error: cannot find VTK 9.3.0

[rebpoli]

Hi,

I am not able to go through compilation, with vtk support.
Configuration cannot find "vtkConfigure.h".
In VTK foruns, I can see it was removed from version 9, as in https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/18757.

How can I move forward? Any suggestion?

Thank you,
Renato

Bah. I was working on this on Thursday but didn't find time to finish it. I was hoping that since 9.3.0 is still at the "Release Candidate" stage I'd have a little more time before this started biting users.

Well... it happens that it only offers the rc1 in the main webpage. I am not a big fan of rcs, but that was the one-click-stuff. I managed to download 9.2.2, and I am not having trouble with enabling MPI in VTK. Do you know if rhe MPI flag has changed from version 8.x?
