Summary0011869: build system fails to find correct sip.h even though SIP_INCLUDE_DIR is set
DescriptionI had to build my own sip, which I installed in a prefix in my home directory. I set the SIP_EXECUTABLE, SIP_INCLUDE_DIR and SIP_PYQT_DIR variables, but still cmake picked up the wrong SIP header, which resulted in a compiler error. Once I had uninstalled my system's sip-dev package, building vtk worked.

This issue has been discussed on the mailing list, for example:
http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtkusers/2010-September/112011.html [^]
The sip-dev package does not "play nice" with user-built sip packages, so having the user uninstall it is probably the wisest solution.

The problem is that the sip-dev package installs sip.h directly in python's main include directory. Setting SIP_INCLUDE_DIR to somewhere else will not remove the python include dir from the include path (it is pretty obvious why it can't). It might be possible to mess around with the order of include directories in CMake to make it work, but I believe that has already been tried and was not successful.
