Installed python binding lacks .egg-info: pip fails to recognize it and mayavi fails to find it
I installed vtk9-9.0.1
on FreeBSD in basically the same way as Arch Linux does it: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=vtk9
The resulting installation works (through import vtk
), but Mayavi fails to find it: DistributionNotFound: The 'vtk' distribution was not found and is required by the application (see https://github.com/enthought/mayavi/issues/1005).
What is wrong, why doesn't vtk install .egg-info
?
