Some file on your system that is being used by the vtk build is linked with
/opt/local/lib/libhdf5.101.dylib. We need to identify that file and rebuild it
so that it is linked with /opt/local/lib/libhdf5.103.dylib instead.
That's what running "sudo port rev-upgrade" does, so I'm surprised that didn't
fix the problem for you.
Maybe rev-upgrade is failing, but isn't printing an error message. You could
run it with debug output: "sudo port -d rev-upgrade".
If the output doesn't look like an error is happening, then maybe the problem
is that the file that is linked with /opt/local/lib/libhdf5.101.dylib is not in
MacPorts, but the vtk build is finding it for some reason. (For example, maybe
it is in /usr/local.) If so, you could use trace mode, which tells MacPorts to
ignore any files not explicitly listed as dependencies: "sudo port clean vtk &&
sudo port -t install vtk +hdf5 +python27 +mpich".
