Build with VTK 9.4.2 failed

[appr0ve]

Trying to build Mayavi 4.8.3 with VTK 9.4.2.

After 57ab29d build is failing.

Building tvtk_classes.zip

In some cases mayavi installs a newer version of vtk (which currently is 9.5) just for building the tvtk classes.
Maybe try the following: #1350 (comment)

[appr0ve]

Building only with system installed VTK.

In additional: error reproduced with VTK version 9.4.1.

Can you check if mayavi really uses this vtk version?
Please run the installation verbosely:

pip install mayavi -v

And see if there is any output line similar to:

Using cached vtk-9.5.0-cp313-cp313-manylinux2014_x86_64.manylinux_2_17_x86_64.whl (112.1 MB)

Or some other line indicating the use of a different version.

I also had vtk 9.4.2 locally, but the installation used a newer version internally.

[appr0ve]

pip is not installed, build environment network access is prohibited.

VTK version inherited from system package provided (expect 9.4.2).

Previous Mayavi 4.8.2 building with 9.4.2 and 9.4.1 is successful.

I'm seeing this in Fedora when updating vtk to 9.5.0
