Hi,

I use current as default OS, so some days ago I first posted the 
question in the Ponce's thread in LQ about the same error, that occurred 
enabling all optional features (IMAGING, MPI, VIEWS, ecc.). I temporary 
"solved" disabling MPI. This happened always trying to build the new 
version with previous VTK 9.0.3 installed

Following the suggestion given by Chris, today I rebuilt VTK with all 
features enabled after uninstalling the previous version and I confirm 
that the build ends successfully. At this point it appears obvious that 
extended settings require the removal of previous installation.

Thanks for these reports!

greetings

gian
