Hi,
I am having problems to build version 5.7.0 of ParaView on my home directory in the Dresden University’s cluster, Taurus. [taurus.sh](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/fx1J8H8Pk38yLKhfVyRitP9nqx6.sh) (1.7 KB) is the script I am using. The building process gets pretty close to its end, but then fails:

```
The problem seems to be that the building process is somewhy generating the wrong relative path for the include directive. If I navigate to the folder where `moc_pq3DViewEventPlayer.cpp` is:
`~/paraview/5.7.0/build/ThirdParty/QtTesting/vtkqttesting/qttesting_autogen/EWIEGA46WW`
I cannot get back to the home directory using the path the build process is attempting to use:
```
alves@tauruslogin5:~/paraview/5.7.0/build/ThirdParty/QtTesting/vtkqttesting/qttesting_autogen/EWIEGA46WW> ll ../../../../../../../../../h9
ls: cannot access ../../../../../../../../../h9: No such file or directory
```
The following, however, works:
`alves@tauruslogin5:~/paraview/5.7.0/build/ThirdParty/QtTesting/vtkqttesting/qttesting_autogen/EWIEGA46WW> ll ../../../../../../../../../alves`
or
`alves@tauruslogin5:~/paraview/5.7.0/build/ThirdParty/QtTesting/vtkqttesting/qttesting_autogen/EWIEGA46WW> ll ../../../../../../../../../../h9/alves`
Then I am back in my home directory, and from there I can navigate to the folder where `pq3DViewEventPlayer.h` is.
This seems to be a bug in the build process; it happens (on the same place) if I attempt to build the _master_ branch. How can we bypass it? By the way, it is worth noticing that, in my system, the directories `/home/alves` and `/home/h9/alves` both refer to the same place (the home directory).
Thank you very much,

I confirm the issue proceeding from a superbuild.
In the folder **[builddir]/superbuild/paraview/build/ThirdParty/QtTesting/vtkqttesting/qttesting\_autogen/EWIEGA46WW** the file **moc\_pq3DViewEventPlayer.cpp** includes a header file with a lengthy and incorrect path
> #include “**…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/[parent]/[parent]/[parent]/[parent]/[parent]/**[builddir]/superbuild/paraview/src/ThirdParty/QtTesting/vtkqttesting/ **pq3DViewEventPlayer.h** ”
I can locate that file in **[buildir]/superbuild/paraview/src/ThirdParty/QtTesting/vtkqttesting/** instead.
In my case this error occurs while

Do you have symlinks somewhere in your build dir path? Do they match the symlinks used in your source dir path?
If not, I suggest doing a `cd $(readlink -f $PWD)` to go to a path without any symlinks.
If that solves your problem, this is a long standing CMake behavior that is broader than it should be. [https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/16228](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/16228) You can do any of:
- not use symlinks
- keep all symlinks common between your build and source tree
- reference symlink paths by their symlink-free name
to mitigate the issue.

I do, and indeed this makes the issue common with the original poster. In my situation the home directory is mounted on a data server, like in the issue tracker you mentioned.
I kind of think that the path to the current (build) directory was already in the extended symlink-free form, and for good measure I have applied your command before launching ccmake.
Also, I checked that all paths in the CMakeCache.txt files are in the extended form: only `superbuild_download_location:PATH` contained a symlink.
In sum, that was the issue. [Ben Boeckel’s tips worked for me](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/building-version-5-7-0-on-cluster-2/3489/4). Thanks
@Rigel Thanks for sharing your issue. If Ben’s tip works for you, I would recommend to mark that a solution.
