Error "Genius is not compiled with XML VTK support, skip VTK export..." despite VTK being found

[tcaduser80]

I have installed Genius under Linux (Debian). Although the VTK libraries have been found during installation, i.e. both "Checking for header vtk.Configure.h" and "Checking for libraries for VTK" gave "yes", I still get the message "Genius is not compiled with XML VTK support, skip VTK export..." when running the diode example (Step 7 in the INSTALL file).

I have added the path /usr/local/lib/vtk-5.4 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. In fact, Genius-TCAD-Open seems to be working... except for the vtk output. I tried installing vtk both with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON and OFF, this does not seem to make a difference. The version of vtk I am using is 5.4.2.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Please check the config log of waf in build/default/config.log to see what happened for VTK library check.
If VTK library is successfully configured, build/default/config.h will have a define
#define HAVE_VTK 1

[tcaduser80]

Thank you for the reply. According to the config.log the VTK library check was successful and config.h does contain the line
#define HAVE_VTK 1.

... just for the sake of completeness, the corresponding parts of the config.log are:
