Please could someone try and install libvtk7.1p and let me know if they see it as corrupt.

sudo apt install libvtk7.1p

If it is corrupt what do I do?

thanks

hi peter,
from the standard mint repositories, "libvtk7.1p" seems to not be available. there is, however, "libvtk7.1" (no "p" at the end) available. i've verified that mint is happy to download and install 7.1, but have not followed through with the installation yet.

it looks like much newer versions are available from here:
https://vtk.org/download/

is 7.1 (not 7.1p) what you are after? if so, i'll try installing it.

cheers,
rob :-)

Peter,
on my Linux Mint libvtk7.1p is already installed ,possibly by default or due to my selection of software . In any case , doesn't look there is anything wrong with it...
regards,
Hans

Hey Matherp

I'm using the Linux Mint Mate 20.2

These are the available libraries:

$ sudo apt install libvtk7
libvtk7.1p libvtk7-dev libvtk7-jni
libvtk7.1p-qt libvtk7-java libvtk7-qt-dev

No problem to install it here.

Thanks all

I solved it by re-installing mint and then installing the problem application with the dependency on libvtk7.1p before I let mint update. Must be some sort of versioning dependency conflict

Obligatory humour:
The p version is perforated, supposedly so that you can get it off the roll more easily without it tearing. Unfortunately, as some people using "other" rolls have discovered, the best way to reinforce a joint is to add perforations.

Sorry, but at least it didn't feature four Yorkshiremen. :)
