If you update your SMTK repo, you’ll need to make sure and update ParaView as well. A [recent change](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmb/smtk/-/merge_requests/2570) has bumped the version of ParaView forward to take advantage of a new feature (dynamic plugin initializer functions) in order to make SMTK’s python plugins work properly.

If you forget, you’ll probably see an error message like:

```nohighlight
CMake Error at .../superbuild/install/lib/cmake/paraview-5.9/ParaViewPlugin.cmake:1433 (add_library):
  Cannot find source file:

    EXTRA_INCLUDES

  Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .cu .mpp .m .M .mm .ixx .cppm .h
  .hh .h++ .hm .hpp .hxx .in .txx .f .F .for .f77 .f90 .f95 .f03 .hip .ispc

```

Note that the change in ParaView also updates the ParaView version number from 5.9 to 5.10, so you’ll want to remove the old ParaView includes/libraries from your superbuild.
