<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>A couple of days ago, I posted a note that I was unable to
compile VTK. I was advised that I needed the developer version of openGL. I
had to appeal to my able systems administrator Steve Conn for help. The
following are his notes …<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Here is what I did to get VTK to compile:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>1. Installed developer versions of OpenGL and other
packages:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>libXau-devel - 1.0.1-3.1.i386<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>mesa-libGL-devel - 6.5.1-7.5.el5.i386<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>xorg-x11-proto-devel - 7.1-9.fc6.i386<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>libXdmcp-devel - 1.0.1-2.1.i386<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>libX11-devel - 1.0.3-9.el5.i386<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>mesa-libGLU-devel - 6.5.1-7.5.el5.x86_64
mesa-libGLU-devel - 6.5.1-7.5.el5.i386 mesa-libOSMesa-devel -
6.5.1-7.5.el5.i386 mesa-libOSMesa-devel - 6.5.1-7.5.el5.x86_64
xorg-x11-proto-devel - 7.1-9.fc6.x86_64 xorg-x11-xtrans-devel - 1.0.1-1.1.fc6.i386
xorg-x11-xtrans-devel - 1.0.1-1.1.fc6.x86_64 libICE-devel - 1.0.1-2.1.x86_64
libSM-devel - 1.0.1-3.1.x86_64 libXt-devel - 1.0.2-3.1.fc6.x86_64 libXt-devel -
1.0.2-3.1.fc6.i386 ncurses-devel - 5.5-24.20060715.i386 ncurses-devel -
5.5-24.20060715.x86_64 python-devel - 2.4.3-21.el5.x86_64 python-devel -
2.4.3-21.el5.i386 mesa-libGL-devel - 6.5.1-7.5.el5.x86_64 libX11-devel -
1.0.3-9.el5.x86_64<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>You won't have to install these one at a time; most of
them get installed as dependencies if you work from the top of the list. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Also, yum installs both the 32-bit and 64-bit packages
automatically.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>2. Unpack the tarball, go to the VTK source directory and
do the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> cmake -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib64:/usr/lib64<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> make<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note that the -D parameter on the cmake line obviates the
necessity of manually changing the library paths in ccmake.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>---------------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So now I have a compiled version. Perhaps this will be
useful to others who find themselves without the developer versions of openGL
and with a 64 bit system. <o:p></o:p></p>
