Hi Damir,

thanks! I got your vtk-tar for "playing"...

The installation process seems to work on my machine; with 
current/extra/community
and custom (tur). 
But it looks for me that something went wrong when I try out
some tcl- and python examples:

  vtk cubeAxes.tcl  
 ERROR: In /var/abs/local/devel/vtk/vtk-tcl/src/VTK/IO/vtkBYUReader.cxx, line 78
 vtkBYUReader (0x81c30b8): Geometry file: 
/var/abs/local/devel/vtk/vtk-tcl/src/VTK/Wrapping/Tcl/vtkbase/../../../../VTKData/Data/teapot.g
 not found
 
 ERROR: In 
/var/abs/local/devel/vtk/vtk-tcl/src/VTK/Graphics/vtkPolyDataNormals.cxx, line 
88
 vtkPolyDataNormals (0x81c3d40): No data to generate normals for!

How does it come that it uses files in my local-build directory!?

The page says:
'VTK Designer is an object oriented, plugin based software
written using VTK and Qt to make the task of designing VTK
visualization pipelines easy.

Features
- Create VTK pipelines visually
- Edit properties and check their impact on the fly
- Add your own VTK classes to VTK Designer via wrappers and plugins.
- Generate C++ code of the pipeline. (Code Generators for other languages will 
be released soon) 
- Save and retreive piplines into VDF files
- Create large pipelines using pipeline parts 
- vdf2cpp command line utility to convert pipelines to C++ code from stored VDF 
files'

It is opensource.

Just tried to compile and install it by hand. It seems to
have problems when it uses some kde-libs. The program was
looking for the kde libs in /usr/share/kde where it couldn't
find it. I could change the path in
'FrontEnd/CMakeLists.txt' so it could find 'ktextbrowser.h',
but it fails right afterwards with:

  Building executable /home/fab/vtkd/bin/vtkdesigner...
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkdeui
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[3]: *** [/home/fab/vtkd/bin/vtkdesigner] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [default_target] Error 2
  make[1]: *** [default_target_FrontEnd] Error 2
  make: *** [default_target] Error 2

So it seems to look for 'kdeui' which should be in the
declared '/opt/kde/lib' '/opt/kde/include' directories.

Anyways it is probably no archlinux problem.

Greetings!
Fabian
